Air
Source Heat Pump Rebate
Program
An
Air Conditioning study conducted by the Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (ACCA) found that 60 percent of all new air
conditioners were not installed properly. As a result,
manufacturers have requested utilities to adopt rebate
guidelines focusing on quality installation practices.
The 2010 air conditioning
rebate program focuses on key areas of the installation
process to help
ensure our customers get the maximum benefit from their new
air conditioner.
Qualifying
systems must be ENERGY STAR
rated or listed on the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration
Institute
(AHRI)
directory.

Customers who
purchase and install a qualifying air source heat pump from one of our registered contractors may receive a

Replacing
An Existing Air Conditioner
Making the decision to replace a working air conditioner
takes time, research, and planning. According to the
Air
Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute if you answer "yes" to a
few of the below questions, you may want to consider consulting
with a certified HVAC contractor about replacing your
system.
-
Is
your current system more than 10 years old?
-
Are
you using more energy than past years?
-
Does
your equipment need to be repaired every year?
-
Is
your HVAC system noisy?
-
Are
some rooms in your home too warm or too chilly?
-
Does
your home seem humid, which is caused by poor system
operation or leaky ductwork?
-
Does
your home get dusty when you operate your air conditioning
system? This could also mean your ductwork needs to be
inspected and possibly sealed, or that your filter needs
to be replaced.
