The Energy-Efficiency Rebate Program
National Fuel’s energy-efficiency rebate program offers non-residential customers in Western New York several money-saving rebates for replacing specified appliances with new, energy-efficient models.
By combining rebates with projected annual savings for using more energy-efficient equipment, new, high-efficiency appliances can quickly pay for themselves.
Taking advantage of this affordable, efficient, secure and abundant resource really adds up—year after year.
An example of how you can make high efficiency more affordable
| (Two) New 95% High-Efficiency, Condensing Boilers | $25,600 |
| (Two) Standard 80% Efficiency Non-condensing Boilers | $18,000 |
| Cost Difference for Higher-Efficiency Model | $7,600 |
| One-Time Fixed Rebate | $3,000 |
| Cost Difference after Rebate | $4,600 |
| Annual Operating Cost Savings | $1,309* |
| Simple Payback on Cost for High-Efficiency Mode | 3.5 years** |
There are two ways to save†
- Fixed (pre-qualified) rebate — Available on pre-qualified equipment
- Customized (performance-based) rebate — Determined on a case-by-case basis, based on the results of an energy-use analysis. Customized rebates are determined by multiplying the annual energy savings in Mcf by $15. This may result in a larger rebate than if your company received a fixed rebate.
A rebate cap of $50,000 per program year for “Conditional Neutral” incentives and $100,000 for “Strategic” incentives, not to exceed $150,000 in total incentives.
