Prepare your multifamily property for heating season with energy efficiency rebates

As cooler weather approaches, now is a good time for multifamily property managers to review heating systems, address maintenance needs, and plan energy efficiency upgrades. North Shore Gas offers multifamily energy efficiency rebates and support to help eligible properties reduce natural gas use, improve comfort for residents, and prepare buildings for the heating season.

Heating-season rebate opportunities

Eligible projects may include:

• High-efficiency boiler replacements and upgrades
• Steam trap testing, repair and replacement
• Furnace upgrades
• Pipe insulation
• HVAC controls
• Boiler tune-ups
• Additional qualifying improvements depending on your building and equipment

Many projects require pre-approval before equipment is purchased or installed. A no-cost multifamily energy assessment can help identify eligible improvements, available rebates, and the next steps for your property.

Multifamily success story: Micro combined heat and power in Chicago

At 5550 S. Dorchester Avenue, Fernwood Property Management and Antheus Capital partnered with the Peoples Gas Energy Efficiency Program to install two Axiom Energy micro combined heat and power (mCHP) units.

The system:

• Generates approximately 50,000 kWh of electricity annually
• Offsets about 20% of the building’s electric load
• Supplies roughly 55% of annual domestic hot water demand
• Helps reduce operating costs and improve overall energy efficiency while reducing strain on existing equipment
