First Nations Furnace Replacement Rebate: Reducing Energy Use, Emissions and Costs SaskEnergy’s First Nations Furnace Replacement Rebate, introduced in 2023-24, assists First Nations across the province in reducing emissions and heating costs. The rebate is available to all residential homes located on a First Nation that have a standard or mid-efficient furnace. Through the program, SaskEnergy offers a $2,000 rebate for the installation of a 95 to 96.9 per cent efficient natural gas furnace, and a $3,000 rebate for each installation of a furnace that is 97 per cent efficient or higher. Yellow Quill First Nation in east-central Saskatchewan is one of the communities that is accessing this program, with the installation of new high-efficiency natural gas furnaces at 43 homes in the community. “This helps our community because high-efficiency furnaces are a lot cheaper on the budget, so the families and elderly people that live in these homes will see a decrease on their monthly bills,” says Darrell Natawcappo, Housing Coordinator. “And, as First Nations people, it’s a way of doing our part to take care of the land and reduce our carbon footprint.”
