Minnesota Energy provides ways to save at both the residential and commercial levels. At the commercial level, Minnesota Energy offers savings on boiler heating systems and components, boiler tune-ups, food service equipment, steam traps, and grocery and commercial laundry.
Minnesota Energy urges customers to regularly maintain their steam traps, which can improve their performance and reduce costs. If a steam trap needs replacement or major repairs, they are qualified for a rebate through Minnesota Energy. According to their website, the rebate is "50% of installed or repair costs up to $250 per trap." They warn that orifice traps are not qualified for these rebates and that these rebates are based on a first-come, first-served basis because of limits on funding.
Minnesota Energy offers a steam trap inventory worksheet that will help submit rebates more efficiently when working with two or more traps at one time.
