**High efficiency tank water heaters are defined by Peoples Gas as having an Energy factor (EF) of .63 or higher. Click here for Peoples Gas' list of qualified high efficiency tank water heaters. For more information on how Energy Factors are determined, visit EnergyStar.
Allowances will be paid on single-family structures. In addition, the water heater or the central heating must be installed to receive the allowance for the range or dryer.
In most instances, the energy conservation rebates for new residential construction are paid to the builder or developer. Allowances are available for Peoples Gas customers only. If building a custom home, residential customers may elect to receive an allowance check or have the allowance made payable to the appliance dealer or plumber/HVAC contractor and have the service bill reduced by that amount.
