North Shore Gas Customers Can Enjoy
Rebates for Energy-efficiency Upgrades
What rebates are
available?
North Shore Gas customers are eligible to receive rebate checks on certain
types of energy-efficient furnaces, boilers, water heaters, insulation and
clothes washers they have bought or will buy from December 15, 2008 to April
30, 2009.
They can save property owners up to $750 on insulation, $600 on boilers, $450
on furnaces, $400 on water heaters, and $100 on clothes washers. The rebate
would come in the form of a check.
Gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters must be installed by professional
contractors. Property owners may opt to self-install insulation and clothes
washers, or hire a professional contractor. Only certain product models and
insulation are eligible. Go to the
Chicagoland Natural Gas Savings Program website to get more
information, or call 1-866-964-7345.
North Shore Gas customers can apply online or by mail by printing out an
application form. Applications must be postmarked or completed online no later
than 60 days after the purchase or by May 31, 2009, whichever comes first.
Rebate checks will take six to eight weeks to arrive. To apply, visit the
Chicagoland Natural Gas Savings Program.
The Citizens Utility Board,
Illinois Attorney General’s Office, and
Environmental Law & Policy Center petitioned the
Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) to force North Shore Gas to
offer this program as part of an effort to improve energy-efficiency and save
Chicago-area consumers money.
For more information about the Chicagoland Natural Gas Savings Program, and to

program’s website, or call 1-866-964-7345.
