The thing most pages get wrong

The VNG rebate form search engines return is last year's: 'Effective October 1, 2025', with a deadline of 31 May 2026 and no Tier 3 furnace or Tier 2 tank-style amounts. VNG's current page runs to 31 May 2027 and adds the 97% furnace at $500 and the 0.81 UEF tank-style water heater at $150.

While supplies last

VNG says rebates are available while funds last and asks customers to check availability on its site before applying.

Gas for gas

VNG's rebates are for efficient gas furnaces and water heaters; it publishes no heat pump rebate.
