Washington Gas helps homeowners and other residential customers throughout Maryland and Virginia to reduce energy use and save money on utility bills by offering rebates for the purchase of high-efficiency natural gas equipment. To submit your rebate application for your equipment purchased at a retail store, please follow the steps below.
Step 1. Be sure you:
- Have your Washington Gas account number. Uploading a recent Washington Gas bill is optional.
- Have a digital/scanned copy of the original receipt showing the date of purchase, model number and proof of purchase. Rebate applications should be submitted within 90 days of purchase.
- In Maryland, rebates are available for purchases made on or after January 1, 2021 for qualifying water heaters and gas dryers.
- In Virginia, rebates are available for purchases made on or after May 16, 2022 for qualifying smart thermostats.
- Have the manufacturer name, model number, and serial number. You will be required to enter this information on the application. Serial numbers are typically located on a label affixed to the equipment and may be labeled as "serial," "serial no." or "S/N."
- If you are a landlord or tenant applying for a rebate but the account is under someone else’s name, a completed payee release form is required.
- Are applying on a compatible computer or mobile device. Apple and Windows-based desktop and laptop computers running current browser software (Internet Explorer 10 and above, Chrome, Firefox and Safari) are compatible, as are Android and Windows mobile devices. If you are using an Apple mobile device, please consider applying for your rebate online using a desktop/laptop computer.
