If you plan on purchasing an energy-efficient product or renewable energy system for your home, you may be eligible for a federal and state tax credits. Between 10 and 80 percent of the cost of these systems may be covered by these tax credits. When you consider how much energy these systems conserve you will see that you can have a positive effect on the environment and improve your comfort level at the same time while saving lots of money in the long run.
Unfortunately the tax credits which paid up to 30% of the cost of a new system and up to $1,500 expired at the first of the year. The good news is that new tax credits have been passed, although at much lower levels. The new tax credits for 2011 will cover 10% of the cost up to $500 in some cases, but in most cases somewhere between $300-$500. Still, when considering the efficiency of your new hvac system choosing a high efficiency unit will pay for itself in a reasonable amount of time.

Your home styas comfortable year-round while trimming your energy use by up to 80%. With the large tax credits now available you can save a great deal on these systems. They are a good investment, a cleaner choice for the environment and last a long long time.
SEER is the measure of efficiency by which the cooling process of air conditioners and heat pumps is rated. The higher the SEER number, the greater the efficiency–and therefore the greater the energy savings. Today, U.S. regulatory agencies require all new products to have a 13.0 SEER rating or better. Boer Brothers Heating and Air offers air conditioners with SEER ratings of up to 20 most of which meet new tax incentives.
