Natural Gas Direct Vent Fireplace Rebate

Get a $150 rebate when you purchase and install a natural gas direct vent fireplace.

Woman on Computer in Front of Natural Gas Fireplace

If you're looking to upgrade your existing natural gas fireplace to a direct vent system, Dominion Energy offers a rebate for the purchase and installation of a qualified natural gas fireplace model.

Available Rebate

Natural Gas Fireplace – Direct Vent
Minimum Fireplace Efficiency (FE) Rebate
≥ 70% with electric pilot ignition $150

Key Benefits to Upgrading to a Direct Vent Qualified Model

  • With electric pilot ignition, there's no more waiting for a service technician to light your pilot. You can also quickly switch your natural gas fireplace on and off using a modulating flame fireplace remote control. The unit remotely triggers the gas fireplace to start burning gas when you switch on the button and gives you the ability to raise or lower your flame height at will in order to create the perfect ambiance. When you switch it off, the fireplace automatically stops burning the gas, saving you energy and money when not in use.
  • Direct vent fireplaces are enclosed in glass and include a safety barrier. This design features aids in their overall efficiency and helps ensure that room air isn't used in combustion, helping to maintain indoor air quality.
  • No chimney is needed. The direct vent pipe is used for intake air and exhaust can route horizontally through the side of your home as well as vertically through the roof. This means you can safely upgrade a natural gas fireplace nearly anywhere in your home.

Which direct vent natural gas fireplace models qualify for the ThermWise rebate?

Expand

Do I qualify for a rebate if my current fireplace is propane, electric, or wood burning?

Expand

No. To be eligible for a rebate, installed fireplace equipment must be of the same equipment type as removed equipment. (Ex. natural gas fireplace must be replaced by a natural gas fireplace). This program does not allow fuel switching or provide rebates for new equipment that does not replace old equipment of the same fuel type or that is being installed in new construction homes.

What does AFUE/FE mean?

Expand

AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency and FE stands for Fuel Efficiency. In general, these acronyms represent the percentage of heat in the incoming fuel which is converted to space heat instead of being lost. The higher the AFUE/FE rating, the more efficient the fireplace is when it converts fuel into energy.
