New HVAC Rebate Program
HRAI will launch a new rebate program on April 1, 2008.
Details of the program are as follows:
• A $25 rebate to homeowners who have a programmable thermostat installed by a participating contractor;
• A $250 rebate to homeowners for the purchase of a replacement Energy
Star®-qualified central air conditioning system, heat pump or ductless split
system (NOTE: Energy Star® criteria = minimum 14 SEER and 11.5 EER);
• A $400 rebate to homeowners for the purchase of a replacement stand-
alone "Tier 2" level central air conditioning system (NOTE: "Tier 2" criteria
s minimum 15 SEER and 12.5 EER);
• A $125 rebate to homeowners who purchase a replacement mid or high
efficiency furnace equipped with an Electronically Commutated Motor
(ECM). This includes all gas, propane, oil and electric furnaces, as
well as air handlers included on the ECM Eligibility List
Homeowners can therefore qualify for up to $550 in total rebates when they
purchase a combined replacement (mid or high efficiency) furnace equipped with
an ECM and a (replacement) central air conditioning system (or heat pump),
where the air conditioning/heat pump efficiency rating meets or exceeds the "Tier
2" level (minimum of 15 SEER and 12.5 EER) (NOTE: this also includes all
ground source heat pumps), as well as a programmable thermostat;
All installations must be performed by a program registered contractor
between April 1, 2008 through to December 31, 2008.
