Need to cut your Georgia gas usage but you’re putting off a major appliance purchase? This July could finally be the right time to pull the trigger. In my case, I am shopping for a new energy saving natural gas water heater. Currently, we have a 30-year-old water heater long overdue for an upgrade. By taking advantage of deals and tax credits, a new super high efficiency heater is more affordable. So come with me to shop for July 4 energy saving gas appliances in Georgia.
Incentives for Energy Saving Appliances in Georgia
Combine 4th of July deals with local and federal rebates for amazing savings on a new gas appliance.
Firstly, there is the Inflation Reduction Act tax rebate for up to 30% of home energy efficiency improvements. This includes natural gas water heaters as long as they meet certain efficiency levels. The tax rebate can also be used for natural gas appliances like a furnace or heat pump.
Secondly is the rebate from Atlanta Gas Light for converting from electric or propane appliances to gas appliances. With a tankless natural gas water heater you can get up to $500. There are also rebates for items like furnaces and dryers.
Note that if you don’t find your new gas appliance during the holiday sales, Amazon has Prime Day just around the corner!
Shop Energy Saving Gas Appliances
To get the most out of rebates, incentives, and energy savings, I’m shopping for a tankless natural gas water heater. For the the tax credit, the water heater needs to have a greater than .95 uniform energy factor (UEF).
Keeping that in mind, I found a great choice. Specifically, it’s the Rinnai Sensei Super High Efficiency Plus. This water heater comes in four sizes and the price difference from smallest to largest is about $400. As a family of four, we could probably get away with the 10 gallon per minute (GPM) flow rate. However, for just $100 more, it could be worth it to get the 11 GPM model.

So, let’s look at the cost breakdown of the super high efficiency tankless gas water heater.
The list price is $1,537.90 for the 11 GPM model. It’s marked down 10% for the current sale, to $1,384.11. This product is eligible for the 30% tax rebate, which brings the cost down to $968.88. Plus, we can apply for a $500 rebate from Atlanta Gas Light and a $250 rebate from Rinnai. That brings the cost down to $218.88. Remember that installation will cost more, but we have about $184.76 leftover from the tax rebate to put towards that.
When you factor in how much money it saves to use a high efficiency tankless gas water heater, it doesn’t take long to pay off the cost of the unit. According to Energy Star, it saves a family of 4 about $95 per year versus a traditional tank-style water heater.
