Your heating and air system is your home’s #1 energy user, accounting for more than 40% of your annual energy costs. So, if your HVAC is more than 10 years old, or isn’t doing its job heating and cooling your home, it’s probably time to upgrade to a new, high-efficiency HVAC system – and earn up to $1,500 in rebates.
*Rebates are now available through the EnergyRight® Residential Services program brought to you by EPB and TVA. Rebates are available on qualifying measures installed by a member of our Quality Contractor Network (QCN). Beginning October 1, 2023, QCN members must initiate your rebate claim within 30 days of completing your project by submitting qualifying measures on your behalf to TVA.
For the highest energy efficiency and best rebates, it’s important to choose an HVAC system with a minimum of 14.2 SEER2 efficiency rating. As you’ll see below, the higher the SEER2 rating, the less energy the system needs to keep your home comfortable – and the greater the annual energy cost savings.
These figures represent the expected overall performance and operating costs of a 3-ton HVAC unit at $.11 per kilowatt hour, based on average weather and location for one year. Operating costs vary depending on climate conditions, home characteristics, energy rates, and usage patterns. Savings not guaranteed.
