COHA launches “Retire your Tank” Program!
Encouraging homeowners across Canada to upgrade their storage tanks is now easier and even more rewarding thanks to an incentive program from the Canadian Oil Heat Association (COHA). The Retire your Tank cash-back tank replacement program gives homeowners a $125 rebate on the purchase of select models. The program runs May 15 to December 31, 2011.
“The Retire your Tank program is not only an effective way to entice homeowners to upgrade their tanks, it’s also a positive signal to the insurance industry that our members take risk reduction and loss prevention very seriously,” says Veronica Yu, COHA President and CEO.
