Boiler Tune-up Program

In addition, Rhode Island Energy offers a boiler tune-up program for existing steam and hot water boilers in commercial and industrial facilities in Rhode Island Energy’s service territory. Tuning up your equipment optimizes the air fuel mixture for the operating range of the boiler, ensuring less fuel is wasted while reducing emissions of hazardous air pollutants produced by inefficient combustion. Rhode Island Energy is here to help you implement this smart energy management practice. Incentives of up to $1,000 are available for the first eligible boiler on a customer account and up to $500 per additional boiler on the same account.
