North Shore Gas: Chicagoland Natural Gas Savings Program

Peoples Gas offers the Chicagoland Natural Gas Savings Program to help residential and non-residential customers purchase energy efficient equipment. Rebates are available on energy efficient furnaces, boilers, water heaters, controls, steam traps, equipment tune-ups, insulation, and clothes washers. Businesses and landlords whose facilities are on Service Classification No. 2 are eligible for the non-residential rebates. To qualify, gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters must be installed by professional contractors. Property owners may opt to self-install insulation or hire a professional contractor. Residential rebates are offered on similar terms but limited to a smaller number of technologies. 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.

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.
