Heating & Cooling Rebates

Heating and cooling may account for as much as 50% of your home’s energy use. We offer instant rebates on qualified heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. When you upgrade to high-efficiency equipment, you save for years to come through reduced energy costs.

During an HVAC appointment, many authorized SMECO contractors are taking additional precautions to ensure the safety of our members. Ask about safety protocols when scheduling your visit.

How It Works

Contact an authorized HVAC contractor or distributor
Work with your authorized contractor or distributor to identify the best, energy-efficient HVAC system for your home’s unique needs
Choose your upgrades and have your contractor perform the installations
Your instant rebate will be reflected in your contract price

*Limit 3 per household.

**SEER = Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating: A rating that denotes the efficiency of air conditioning equipment. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the unit and the lower the operating cost.

†EER = Energy Efficiency Rating: The ratio of an air conditioning unit’s cooling capacity in British thermal units (Btus) per hour to the total electrical input in watts.

‡HSPF = Heating Seasonal Performance Factor: The total heating output of a heat pump in Btus during its normal usage period for heating, as divided by the total electrical energy input in watt-hours during the same period.

§COP = Coefficient of Performance: A ratio that measures the efficiency of a heat pump. The higher the number, the more efficient the heat pump.

***Efficiency levels are in effect for equipment purchased on or after 06/17/2020.

Inflation Reduction Act

In August 2022, the federal government passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which allocated more than $369 billion over 10 years to several energy efficiency initiatives. Wondering how you can take advantage of these tax credits?

Ask your authorized contractor about highly efficient ENERGY STAR®-certified Heat Pump Water Heaters and Air Source Heat Pumps. Both units are super energy efficient and will help you save money over the unit’s lifetime. Combine that with Inflation Reduction Act federal tax credits of 30% of the cost of the Heat Pump Water Heater and/or Air Source Heat Pump (up to $2,000 each) and the savings will continue to pile up. For more information, visit these sites: Air Source Heat Pumps Tax Credit | Heat Pump Water Heater Tax Credit

Maintain your HVAC systems with routine maintenance throughout the year. Our authorized contractors can help you set a maintenance schedule

Tax Credits

The Non-Business Energy Property Tax Credits are available for purchases made between 12/31/2017 and 12/31/2022. Qualified ENERGY STAR certified Air Source Heat Pumps and Central Air Conditioning units may be eligible for the Non-Business Energy Property Tax Credit of $300. For more information on how to apply, consult your tax advisor or visit the ENERGY STAR® website.
