Here are more details on the Program:

Heating and cooling a house often accounts for a majority of a household’s monthly energy costs. That being the case, homeowners have a great opportunity to save energy and money by installing a more efficient HVAC system. The purpose of PEC’s rebate incentives is to help the homeowner make the decision to improve the efficiency of their HVAC system. Ultimately, higher efficiency equates to lower monthly energy bills and improved comfort.

There are two standard measures that are most commonly used to rate the efficiency of HVAC systems, Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) and Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). The higher the SEER or EER rating, the more efficient the system is. Heat pump systems have an additional measure of efficiency called Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF). Ground source heat pump systems have an additional measure of efficiency called Coefficient of Performance (COP).
