Equipment must be installed conforming to all applicable building, local, state, and federal codes, standards, ordinances and regulations, and manufacturer's specifications. Equipment must be installed and operational prior to submittal of this application. Combination furnace/boiler/water heater units will only be eligible for the qualifying furnace or boiler rebate. For dual-fuel customers (those having both NIPSCO residential natural gas and electric service) that apply for an air-source heat pump rebate in conjunction with a natural gas furnace or boiler installation rebate, applicant can choose to submit for either the heat pump or the furnace/boiler but not both. Limit of two (2) of any one measure per customer, per year, excluding ENERGY STAR® low-e storm windows, smart vents, HVAC tune-ups and smart Wi-Fi thermostats. ENERGY STAR® low-e storm windows and smart vents are limited to six (6) rebates per customer, per year.

By submitting this application, the customer certifies that they have installed the equipment to meet appropriate codes and manufacturer specifications and has met all other Program requirements. All HVAC tune-ups must be performed by a licensed HVAC contractor; customers may not self-perform the HVAC tune-up and receive the rebate.
Application Eligibility
Applications must be completed in full and accompanied by the required invoices or receipts. Applications must be postmarked within 60 days of installation.

Allow up to eight (8) weeks after application is received by the Program to receive your rebate, unless an inspection is required. Rebate payments may be delayed during times of high program participation. Incomplete applications cannot be processed. Failure to complete the rebate application in full and provide the required supporting documentation may delay the payment process or result in your application being denied.

The customer is also responsible for timely follow-up to be sure the application was submitted within 60 days of installation. Failure to submit a rebate application within 60 days of installation can result in denial of rebate payment. Receipt of an application does not guarantee payment of a rebate. The Program is not responsible for items (e.g., application, supporting documentation, rebate checks) lost or damaged in the mail.
Instant Discount Option
If a contractor chooses to do so, the rebate may be offered at the time of sale as an "instant discount" to the customer. If an instant discount is provided, the customer must sign the application acknowledging that they received the rebate as a discount off the total purchase price of the installed equipment. Instant discounts provided to an organization that is funding new HVAC equipment and installation in a customer's home (gift or donation to the customer) does not qualify for a rebate or instant discount. The contractor submits the rebate application on behalf of the customer and if eligible, will receive the rebate payment directly. The required invoice must clearly itemize the amount of the rebate provided as a discount to the customer. By signing the application, the customer releases submission of the application and the payment of the rebate to the contractor for the equipment installed. As part of quality assurance, end customers may be contacted to verify that an instant discount was received. Customers who are randomly selected for inspection and do not comply may affect the contractor receiving the rebate.
Chimney Liners

Rebate Recipient
Eligible NIPSCO customers may receive rebates for qualifying application submissions. Equipment vendors or contractors who have provided an eligible customer with an instant discount may receive rebates directly. The customer must sign the application, acknowledging receipt of the instant discount and releasing payment of the rebate to the vendor or contractor. The equipment vendor or contractor must complete and submit the application on behalf of the customer, with the signature of an authorized representative of the customer, to be eligible for participation in the Program.

Homes that are submitted for and receive a rebate in the New Construction Program are not eligible for HVAC and water heater rebates through the Energy Efficiency Rebate Program or instant discounts in the Online Marketplace Program for a period of three (3) years after the new construction rebate.
Verification
NIPSCO reserves the right to verify sales receipts and/or installations of equipment and services before issuing rebates. All equipment installations are subject to verification by the Program to ensure the equipment is installed and operating. An inspection may be conducted to verify installations; such inspections are not safety or code compliance inspections. By submitting this rebate application, the applicant agrees to participate in any inspection requested by NIPSCO as it pertains to the rebate program. Refusal to participate in an inspection may result in the rebate being denied.
Program Modifications
NIPSCO reserves the right to alter or discontinue rebate offers at any time without notice.
Natural Gas Equipment Installations
Customers should verify with NIPSCO that their natural gas pressure is adequate for any gas-using equipment being installed.

NIPSCO, the Program Administrator, the Program Implementer, their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, officers, directors, agents, and employees disclaim any and all liability, loss, or damages, and make no guarantees related to: participation in the Program, including use or installation of the equipment; loss or delay of rebate check(s) in the mail; and any taxes that may be imposed as a result of participation in the Program. Allow up to eight (8) weeks after application is received by the Program to receive your rebate, unless an inspection is required.

Making false statements on any NIPSCO rebate application is punishable by law. Any and all funds determined, in NIPSCO's sole discretion, to have been acquired on the basis of fraudulent or misrepresented information must be returned to the Program.
