Summary:
Peoples Gas offers the Chicagoland Natural Gas Savings Program to help residential customers purchase energy efficient equipment. Rebates are available on energy efficient furnaces, boilers, water heaters, controls and insulation. Businesses and landlords whose facilities are on Service Classification No. 2 are ineligible to participate but are eligible for non-residential rebates. To qualify, gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters must be installed by professional contractors and meet stated efficiency requirements. Insulation must be installed by an Illinois Home Performance with Energy Star-certified contractor. A full list of eligible models and insulation and instructions on how to apply for the rebates can be found on the Chicagoland Natural Gas Savings Program web site. Applications must be made no later than 60 days after the equipment purchase date. Additionally, building owners may have high-pressure, low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators installed in units free of charge. Contact Peoples Gas for more information on this program.
The Chicagoland Natural Gas Savings Program is funded by customers of Peoples Gas, through a line item on the bill called the Enhanced Efficiency Program. The Program is guided by Peoples Gas, the Citizen's Utility Board, the City of Chicago Department of Environment, the Environmental Law and Policy Center, and the Illinois Attorney General's Office.
