Propane Incentive Program

The Propane Construction Research Program

Earn up to $1,500 per home for participating in research and data collection

Propane is a home energy upgrade that gives your customers superior comfort and lower energy costs compared with all-electric homes. That’s why, for builders and remodelers alike, adding propane performance is a significant competitive advantage. And, through the Propane Construction Research Program, qualified builders can earn up to $1,500 per home when they add propane appliances to new construction or remodel projects by simply providing data on those installations. It’s a win-win for you and your customers.

Building with Propane Benefits the Environment, Homeowners, and Construction Professionals

In 2023, the Propane Construction Research Program eliminated over 19,000,000 million pounds of harmful emissions, while also generating updated research and usage data directly from homebuilders. Plus, thousands of homeowners enjoyed lower utility bills and more comfort — confirming that propane is truly the energy for everyone.

The Propane Construction Research Program

The Propane Construction Research Program is designed to collect data from participating builders to inform research about propane use in the residential building industry. As part of the program, participants are required to complete a survey about the homes they build or remodel using propane. Survey topics include any challenges participants may be facing, consumer perceptions, and project details such as comparable selling price and time on market. Completion of the survey must occur before compensation can be released. Qualifying and selected construction professionals receive monetary compensation for up to $1,500 per project once emissions data and survey responses are submitted.
