The tax credit is the amount noted on the list of qualifying equipment.   To qualify for a tax credit, you must have an Oregon income tax liability. If you are an Oregon resident and do not have an Oregon income tax liability, you may choose to transfer your tax credit to an Oregon resident who does. This is done by checking the Pass-through Option section on the application form.

Selecting the right system, and size of system, for your home has never been more important. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, heating and cooling account for up to 56 percent of energy used in a typical U.S. home, making it the largest energy expense for most homes.Fortunately, now there are a wide variety of energy-efficient systems available to heat and cool your home. In addition, many heating and cooling systems have supporting equipment in common, such as thermostats and ducts, which provide opportunities for more energy savings. Finding the most energy-efficient system is easy – just look for the ENERGY STAR®.  An ENERGY STAR-certified central air conditioner is 15 percent more efficient than a standard system. Those savings can add up.Now is also the time to make sure that you get the best performance from your new system. We suggest you also participate in the Quality Installation and Verification (QIV) Program. In addition to a list of qualified contractors, the QIV program offers additional rebates of $100 to $500 for qualifying systems.

How We Can HelpWe help make it affordable to upgrade your heating and cooling system with rebates of $250 - or even $500 - provided by the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund. Rebates apply to qualifying ENERGY STAR central air conditioning or heat pump systems.Energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment will save you energy and money.There are a few kinds of HVAC systems you could have installed in your home which are dependent on where you live, square footage, construction type and cost. Listed below are the two types available for the rebate.A split HVAC system is comprised of multiple sections, an indoor coil section in the ductwork and an outdoor coil section (compressor/condenser) installed on the outside of the home. Inside the home (attic, basement, closet) there may be a combined fan and air conditioning coil in one box or separate coil and fan sections which can house a gas or oil heating furnace. Note that the installed system must be a matched assembly to qualify for rebate (the two or three components must be matched; more information can be found on the AHRI Directory).

Most often, all sections would require replacement to ensure the best efficiency. A package system contains all components in one box (compressor, condenser, fan) and is typically found installed outside the home, in some cases on the roof and ducted into the home. Step 1 - See the rebate application on this page for details on qualifying heat pump and air conditioning systems or visit your utility’s website below:Eversource     UIStep 2 - Contact your heating and cooling contractor about what system is right for you.
