Latest change: The Equipment Upgrades content now shows tighter eligibility details and changed incentive presentation across several equipment pages, including ERV/HRV, Hybrid RTU, DCKV, and the main equipment overview pages.
Equipment Upgrades incentives and eligibility updated
The Equipment Upgrades content was updated with tighter eligibility language and a changed incentive presentation on multiple equipment pages. ERV/HRV now states that incentives are available to Enbridge Gas commercial and industrial customers who install ERV or HRV systems that meet program requirements, and adds that in-suite options are available for multi-residential buildings. The DCKV and Hybrid RTU pages also changed materially: the DCKV incentive table and dollar amounts were removed from the visible page content, and the Hybrid RTU page now shows a capacity-based incentive table with $1,000/unit at ≤ 32 kBtu/hr, $2,500/unit at 33–77 kBtu/hr, $4,000/unit at 78–110 kBtu/hr, $8,000/unit at 111–200 kBtu/hr, and $40/kBtu/hr at ≥ 201 kBtu/hr. The main Space Heating, Ventilation & Building Envelope overview now shows fewer equipment categories and the supporting equipment pages, while the prescriptive equipment overview continues to route users to the advisor and incentive sections.
