The average household can be responsible
for nearly twice the greenhouse gas
emissions as the average car!

Luckily, the HVAC industry has come a long way.
Advances in technology have made heating & cooling your
home much more environmentally friendly.
Helping the environment is a pretty neat thing – not to mention
all of the money you save on your energy bill while doing it.
Not only has technology come along way, but, now there are a
number of programs that provide you with the information you
need to make an energy efficient decision.

Read on to learn how two of these programs
actually reward you for making the energy
efficient choice!
Energy Star
A voluntary product labeling program from the Environmental
Protection Agency and the Department of Energy for products in over
35 categories.  Products that carry the Energy Star label, because of
their high efficiency, will produce savings in the long run on utility bills
and are more environmentally friendly than non-Energy Star
products. In order to carry the Energy Star label, the products must
meet specific standards. The Energy Star website has great
information for homeowners on how to make energy efficient choices
in your home. Click on the Energy Star logo to learn more.
The government, under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, has
reinstated the federal tax credit given to homeowners making
certain energy efficient home improvements on their primary
residence from 2009 - 2010. Up to a $1,500 tax credit is available
for qualifying furnace and air conditioner installations! We have
many units that qualify for the tax credit.  As there are some
stipulations on the use of the tax credit, we suggest seeking advise
from your accountant on whether or not you will be able to take
advantage of it.

Focus on Energy
A public/private partnership which offers energy related information
and services to Wisconsin.  Its goals are to encourage energy
efficiency, enhance the environment and ensure a future supply of
energy to Wisconsin.  They offer valuable information on how to save
money and save energy in your home.  One way they do this is
through the Efficient Heating & Cooling Initiative – a cash back
reward program that actually gives qualified consumers who
purchase qualified energy efficient equipment a cash rebate.
Air conditioners may qualify for a cash back rebate of up to
$100 and furnaces may qualify for a cash back rebate of up to
$150. Act now to take full advantage of the rebates, as the program
is updated regularly and some rebates will become obsolete. Click on
the logo to be directed to the Focus on Energy home page to learn
more. And now, for a limited time only, additional rebates of up to
$275 are available on qualifying systems!
