Rebates! Rebates! Rebates! Part One: Federal Credits

And you thought federal rebates for your home’s HVAC were gone….well, they’re BA-ACK!!

Below are the exact products that qualify for a federal tax credit.

• Advanced Main Air Circulating Fan

  An Advanced Main Air Circulating Fan is an efficient fan, or blower motor which blows the air that your furnace heats up through the duct system.

  

  Tax Credit Amount: $50

  Requirements

  Must use no more than 2% of the furnace’s total energy.

• Air Source Heat Pumps

  Heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners in moderate climates. Like your refrigerator, heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space into a warm, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house; during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide up to 4 times the amount of energy they consume.
