The contractor will subtract the rebate from your contract and final invoice, dependant upon the equipment you choose.

(Please see the system requirements above for details). Please be sure this figure is included on your contract and invoice, or your rebate cannot be guaranteed.

Rebates will be offered on full heat pump or central air conditioning systems. For heat pump systems, this means that both the outdoor unit and indoor air handler must be replaced. For central air conditioning systems, this means that the outdoor unit, indoor fan-bearing unit/furnace, and coil must be replaced. Add-on coils only are not eligible for a rebate.
