If you purchase an energy-efficient system for your home you may qualify for up to $1500 in tax credits! Included in this group of units is our Comfortmaker 15 seer heat pumps and 16 seer AC systems. Not only will you qualify for a tax credit of 30% up to $1500, but you will also save money each month on your heating and cooling costs.
High efficiency saves you money
The 15 SEER†/up to 8.5 HSPF†† ratings (industry terms used to measure energy efficiency) mean this unit gives you substantial energy savings. Your old unit may have such poor efficiency that it's costing you twice as much to operate every month compared to this state-of-the-art unit.
†SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.
††HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor.
