Residential rebate
Since about 50% of your energy can be used for space heating and cooling, having an HVAC system that works effectively and efficiently is smart.
Furnaces with the ENERGY STAR® mark perform up to 15 percent more efficiently than baseline models, which translates into valuable energy savings, cost savings and a reduction in greenhouse gases. ENERGY STAR® boilers can also save energy and money, since they are about 8% more efficient than the federal standard.
If you are considering installing an air conditioner, or need to replace an old unit, an air source heat pump (ASHP) is a great option. An air source heat pump is an air conditioner with a reversing valve, so it can provide both heating and cooling for your home. Using an ENERGY STAR® ASHP in conjunction with a furnace, can save energy and money because it is approximately four times more efficient than a standard furnace during warmer winter months.
If you are considering utilizing an air source heat pump as the primary heating source in your home, a great option is a cold climate ASHP (ccASHP). It has the same benefits as a standard ASHP, but if it is sized correctly, it does not require back up heat. This is because it can run at a higher efficiency as the temps decrease to below 0°F.
