EnergySense Equipment Rebates (Commercial & Residential)

There’s no downside to conserving energy—it just makes sense. That’s why PGW created EnergySense, a series of programs, rebates and financial incentives designed to save our commercial and residential customers some green while helping them go green.

When customers upgrade their current natural gas equipment to more eco-friendly high efficiency equipment, they can apply for an EnergySense rebate. Residential customers can receive rebates up to $500 on furnaces and $1,500 on boilers. Commercial customer rebates vary, depending on equipment size and type. Customers can view a complete listing of rebates on the EnergySense website:

• Residential Rebates
• Commercial Rebates

Who qualifies for an EnergySense Equipment Rebate?

PGW residential or commercial customers who are current on their bills and who upgrade their natural gas equipment to the energy-efficient options listed on the EnergySense website.
