equipment eligibility. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the program requirements are met.
Where applicable, energy efficiency ratings must comply with those listed in the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refirgeration Institute
(AHRI) Directory, ENERGY STAR, and the Home Ventilation Institute (HVI) for space heating and water equipment. Ratings can be found
by model number at www.ahridirectory.org, www.energystar.gov or www.hvi.org. Submitting an AHRI, ENERGY STAR or HVI certificate
with your application and invoice is highly recommended. These lists and directories for qualifying equipment are dynamic and change
frequently.
