The advisor will install water-saving products like faucet aerators and other free items to help save energy throughout your facility. After the assessment, you’ll receive a customized report detailing energy-saving recommendations, product and improvement costs and available rebates or incentives for any energy efficiency improvements.

Custom Incentives
If you are planning a project but it's not covered under other Nicor Gas Energy Efficiency offerings, it may qualify for a custom incentive. Businesses that use less than 60,000 therms of natural gas annually, are independently owned and operated, and have fewer than 10 locations qualify for small business custom incentives. Custom incentives are based on the therms saved from the energy efficiency project.
*Incentives are capped at $350,000 or 35% of the project cost, whichever is less.
