Fuel for Thought National Fuel


Rebates are available for small, non-residential customers whose facilities use less than 12,000 Mcf (thousand cubic feet) of natural gas per year for upgrading to more energy-efficient equipment.

Choose from one of two rebate options:

Fixed (Pre-Qualified) Rebate – Fixed rebates available on pre-qualified equipment. It’s fast and easy.

Customized (Performance-Based) Rebate – Rebates are determined on a case-by-case basis, based on the results of an energy-use analysis. Customized rebates can be as much as $15 per Mcf x the gas savings (Mcf), up to $25,000. This may result in a larger rebate than if your company were to receive a fixed rebate.

Fixed rebate requirements for select natural gas appliances include:



Please Note: all appliances must be installed by a contractor. Non-residential customers applying for a rebate AND the contractor who performed the installation must be able to supply one of the following: Federal ID number, a Certificate of Insurance or a Business Certificate showing their company's name and address in order for the rebate application to be considered complete. The customized rebates being offered to non-residential customers are available for qualifying equipment purchased and installed on or after November 1, 2007. The fixed rebates being offered to non-residential customers are available for qualifying equipment installed on or after December 1, 2008.
