Boiler Tune-Up Rebate
You are likely getting many requests for boiler tune-ups. Make sure you are getting your customer a rebate for this service as it could cover most of the cost.

What’s needed for a Boiler Tune-Up Rebate:

  • Signed application (our team can assist with this)
  • Boiler tune-up checklist
  • Pre and post combustion readings (showing an increase in efficiency)
  • Final invoice (if the rebate will be issued to you, your final invoice must show the rebate amount as a credit to the customer)
