Vectren enhances natural gas residential and commercial appliance rebate program

Dayton, Ohio - Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio (Vectren) will continue to offer its natural gas customers cash rebates when replacing existing natural gas equipment with high efficiency models. New to the program for 2015 is a $100 rebate toward a Wi-Fi enabled programmable thermostat.

Residential rebates toward energy efficient natural gas appliances and improvements as of Jan. 1, 2015 include:

 $200 toward a natural gas furnace (95 percent or higher efficiency rating)

 $300 toward a natural gas furnace (97 percent or higher efficiency rating)

 $500 toward a natural gas residential boiler (95 percent or higher efficiency rating with space heating as the primary use)

 $100 toward a Wi-Fi enabled programmable thermostat

 $20 toward a standard programmable thermostat

 Up to $600 toward attic insulation

 Up to $700 toward wall insulation

 Up to $250 toward air sealing

Vectren continues to offer a variety of energy efficient natural gas rebates for small business customers as well. For an updated list of business rebates, click here.
"We want to encourage customers to choose the most efficient appliances possible. Energy efficient appliances deliver substantial savings over their operating life and our rebates help customers to overcome the increased initial investment," said Robbie Sears, vice president of customer energy solutions.
The tiered rebate structure for residential natural gas appliances is based on the level of efficiency and the initial cost to the consumer; as the efficiency rate increases, so does the rebate amount. Since its inception in 2009, Vectren's conservation programs have saved more than 16.5 million Ccfs, which is enough energy to heat nearly 20,000 homes for a year.
Vectren's rebate forms can be found at www.vectren.com. Forms can be completed online or printed and submitted within 60 days of equipment installation. To qualify, customers must use natural gas as their primary source of heat.
