The Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) is the most trusted source of performance certification for HVAC equipment. AHRI tests the performance of equipment and assigns a unique identifying number, which can then be used to look up performance information to include the SEER, EER and HSPF ratings. Your HVAC contractor should provide the AHRI number on your application.
Since our program follows ENERGY STAR® guidelines, we revised our minimum efficiency requirements to meet the ENERGY STAR® minimum efficiency level, which is now 15.2 SEER2.
No. Ground source heat pumps are not eligible for a rebate. However, please consult your tax advisor and review the eligible tax credits on the ENERGY STAR® website.
