Heating Rebates
Rebates on home heating for Minnesota gas customers
Overview
Heating and cooling your home typically accounts for 50% of your energy bill. A new natural gas furnace or boiler can help you save energy and money. Our 2012 heating rebate program is designed to help offset your initial costs, and an efficient unit can offer energy savings throughout the life of the equipment. Xcel Energy offers different rebate schedules for new and existing homes.
Please read full program details.

Who Qualifies
Xcel Energy customers who receive residential natural gas service from us in Minnesota.
How to Get Started
- Find a registered contractor.
- Purchase and install a new, qualifying furnace or boiler between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012.
- Download the rebate application or ask for one from your installing contractor.
- Complete and mail the application by July 31, 2013 (include your dated invoice). It takes about six weeks to receive a rebate check.
Additional Information
The installation property must be located in Minnesota and receive residential natural gas service from Xcel Energy to qualify for the rebate.
Equipment eligibility is verified through the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). To be eligible for a rebate, equipment model numbers on the invoice and the rebate form must match exactly. Check with your contractor to ensure that your unit will qualify for a rebate.
Xcel Energy uses ahridirectory.org to verify all heating equipment. Equipment that does not match will not qualify for rebates.
There is no limit to the number of heating system rebates you can receive. If you install two qualifying units, you may submit two forms.
Rebate forms for units installed between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 must be submitted by July 31, 2013.
Rebates for new home construction should be negotiated between the builder and the home buyer to determine who receives the rebate.
Rebates may take up to six weeks to process after the application has been submitted. Rebate applications are processed individually; you will receive one check per application if approved. Please retain a copy of your paperwork.
