Guidance

The Washington Gas Home Energy Savings Program offers rebates ranging from $50 to $800 for upgrading to ENERGY STAR certified appliances and heating equipment, or completing a system tune-up. To be eligible, installations must occur in a single-family home for active residential customers in Maryland or Virginia, and must be performed by a registered participating contractor.

Homeowner Tasks

Confirm active utility account status
Verify that you are an active residential Washington Gas customer located in Maryland or Virginia.
Verify your property type
Ensure the home receiving the installation is a single-family property.
Hire a participating contractor
You must select and hire a registered Washington Gas participating contractor to perform the upgrade.

Contractor Tasks

Confirm participating contractor status
Ensure your business is actively registered as a Washington Gas participating contractor before performing the work.
Install ENERGY STAR certified equipment
Ensure the heating system, water heater, clothes dryer, fireplace, or smart thermostat being installed meets ENERGY STAR certification requirements.
Document the specific upgrade type
Identify and document the exact upgrade performed, whether it is an equipment installation or a heating/cooling system tune-up, to ensure accurate rebate tier processing.

Income-qualified customers (MD: 80% AMI or enrolled in SNAP, TANF, SSI, Medicaid; VA: 80% AMI or 120% SMI for seniors 60+) may be eligible for comprehensive no-cost upgrades including audits, insulation, air sealing, and equipment tuning.

Rebate amounts are highly dependent on the upgrade type. For example, ENERGY STAR Heating Systems offer the highest incentive (up to $800), while smaller upgrades like dryers and tune-ups provide $50.

Failing to use a registered Washington Gas participating contractor will completely disqualify the project from receiving any rebate.
