Energy Efficiency Program

The Virginia Natural Gas Energy Efficiency Program encourages our customers to create more energy-efficient and sustainable homes.

As part of our Energy Efficiency Program, you can take a free online home energy audit to help determine your home energy usage and identify energy-saving opportunities. After taking the audit, you can choose between one of our three free energy-savings kits filled with items to help you get started on your path to conserving energy.

Our Energy Efficiency Program also includes money-saving rebates on new high-efficiency home equipment, such as natural gas furnaces, water heaters and SMART thermostats, that are designed to help you save energy and money and reduce your environmental impact.

Get started on your journey to a cleaner, more energy-efficient household today.
