Are you a builder or developer? We want to partner with you!

Greater Minnesota Gas, Inc. offers free energy code compliance services and additional rebates for measures that improve energy efficiency when you build a new home in our service territory.

Services include:

• Free blower door testing and duct leakage testing as required under Minnesota’s new energy code when you include a 95% AFUE or better natural gas furnace and an HRV/ERV (with 60% or more Sensible Recovery) in your new home
• Recommended improvements in the home’s building shell for immediate improvement and/or future reference
• Get $200 for building a base level efficient home*, and get additional rebates for EACH of the following energy efficiency improvements.

Builders will receive a blower door and/or duct leakage report from their energy tester when they pass the code compliance leakage test(s), which they can submit to their building code official for compliance purposes. Even if your home does not pass the code compliance test(s), you will receive information on how to improve the home’s air tightness and can receive a standard furnace rebate from GMG instead.

To learn more about standard furnace rebates, visit our Residential Rebates page.

Neither Greater Minnesota Gas, Inc. nor Frontier Energy is responsible for the builder’s failure to comply with energy code. Please check with your local building code official on their requirements.
