Total Rebate is per ASHP system and is limited to 50% of equipment cost.
5
Efficiency Bonus Rebate provides an additional incentive for efficiencies above 15.5 SEER.
Qualifying air source heat pumps must have been rated in accordance with the most recent version of AHRI Standard 210/240 and have nameplate data stamped with the SEER and HSPF.
A copy of the manufacturer’s applicable unit rating must accompany this application. The AHRI directory and standards are located at www.ahridirectory.org.
