AC/HVAC Rebate
Energy Efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment Will Save You Energy and Money
These programs are just two of the innovative solutions offered by the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund and administered by CL&P.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heating and cooling account for about 56 percent of the energy use in a typical U.S. home, making it the largest energy expense for most homes. There is a wide variety of technology available for heating and cooling your home, enabling efficient conversion of energy into useful heat or cool air for your home. In addition, many heating and cooling systems have supporting equipment in common, such as thermostats and ducts, which provide opportunities for saving energy.
One of the most important decisions you can make as an energy-conscious homeowner is the type of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system you choose. Of course you want your home to be comfortable year-round. Now comfort and cost can be balanced with the selection of an energy-efficient HVAC system for your home.
Want to cut the costs of cooling your home? Through the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund, CL&P offers special incentives for installing electric central air conditioning or electric heat pump systems that meet certain energy-efficiency ratings established by the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI). Looking for a good HVAC contractor? Follow these tips for hiring a HVAC contractor.
Funding for this program is limited, and customers will be qualified for enrollment on a first-come, first-served basis. Through December 31, 2008, you may qualify for up to a $500 incentive for installing certain ENERGY STAR® central air conditioning or heat pump systems.

You should have an HVAC contractor perform a maintenance check on your cooling system in the spring and then one in the fall for your heating system. This will keep your system at peak performance year after year. Looking for a good HVAC contractor? Follow these tips for hiring a HVAC contractor.
The Room Air Conditioner Turn-In program was created to encourage customers to remove old, inefficient window air conditioners and replace them with models that meet federal ENERGY STAR® standards.
In order to receive your rebate, you must present an existing window air conditioner unit to a participating retailer (listed below) for proper, environmentally friendly disposal in accordance with state and/or local regulations. The turned-in unit must be in working order; the participating retailer reserves the right to check the unit to verify it is operable. There is a limit of three turned-in units per customer and rebates for multiple turned-in units cannot be aggregated.
