Summary:
Nicor Gas offers a variety of rebates to commercial customers for the purchase and installation of energy efficient products. Rebates are available on water heaters, furnaces, boilers, boiler controls and maintenance, steam trap upgrades, and more. Custom rebates are also available to these customers and are based on therms saved. Customers can also choose the Instant Discount Option, which provides a reduced discount at point of purchase from a participating contractor. Contractors are eligible to attend webinars about program details, education materials/sales tools and program information, materials to build customer awareness and demand, and sales/marketing training workshops.
The Custom Incentive Program is for projects not covered by the other Nicor Gas business program. Projects related to building envelope and windows, commercial-sized space heating, heat-intensive manufacturing processes, and more will be considered for a custom incentive up to $500,000. The Retro-Commissioning program uses studies and tune-ups to maximize efficiency in a building's operating systems, and the Small Business Energy Savings Program provides free energy assessments, hot-water and gas-saving devices, and up to 70% of a small business' costs to purchase and install qualifying measures, like programmable thermostats, conduct boiler and furnace tune-ups.
