HVAC Smart Rebates

The higher the SEER, the bigger the savings. 

Every air conditioner or heat pump has a SEER rating, which represents its energy efficiency. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. The higher the SEER number, the more efficient the unit. And the bigger the rebate too, as in up to $525.

Over half of your energy usage in your home comes from your heating and cooling system. A higher efficiency HVAC system will not only increase your home's comfort, it will also save you money on your energy bills year after year. Here are 10 Tips for hiring HVAC services from ENERGY STAR®.

Here's how it works:

1. Contact a licensed HVAC contractor
2. Install a new A/C or heat pump, 16 SEER or higher
3. Have your contractor submit rebate paperwork and get up to a $525 rebate check
