Nevada Propane Dealers Association
2011 - 2012 Safe Water Heater Installation Rebate Program
A $300 rebate is available for the safe installation of propane water heaters in 2011 – 2012 until funds are depleted.
This project will reward Nevada propane customers with $300 to pay for a qualified technician to conduct a safety audit of the safe installation of a propane water heater. The objective is to promote the safe installation of propane appliances. This safe installation program will foster consumer safety awareness and support the proper installation of new appliances that replace older, less efficient models.
In order to qualify for these rebate funds, a safety inspection, such as a Gas Check, must be performed by the participating dealer prior to the submission of any rebate application. An appropriate safety inspection consists of an on-site inspection including any pressure tests, of an eligible installation by the participating dealer. The purpose is to verify that the propane gas system, including all equipment, is installed in compliance with the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions and all applicable LP gas codes and regulations adopted by the authority having jurisdiction. A copy of the Dealer's safety inspection form, signed by the contractor or homeowner, must accompany the rebate application.
Rebates are processed on a first come, first served basis until availability is exhausted. Marketers are encouraged to contact Lisa Menante, Executive Director, Nevada Propane Dealers Association, for a pre-approval number, which is good for 90 days. All safe water heater installation rebates must be submitted within 45 days of installation. The safe installation rebate must be awarded to the consumer.
To help ensure the timely processing of applications, please make sure all requested information is included. Incomplete rebate requests will not be processed. Lisa Menante will be processing requests.
