Benefits of Energy Efficient Heating-Air Conditioning; Raleigh Residents

If you are considering replacing your dying heating and air conditioning appliances, this is a good time to make that move.  It will be well worth the initial expensive to install a new, energy-efficient system in your home as there are numerous benefits.  The government has helped made it more cost-effective by providing an incentive to homeowners to update and upgrade their HVAC systems. You will save money in the long run and can enjoy having properly running appliances without having to constantly call a contractor for repairs.

Fewer Unit-Related Costs

Your older furnace and air conditioner has given you great service throughout the years but now that they have aged considerably you're experiencing more problems on a regular basis.  Your contractor provides regular maintenance on your equipment and keeps it operating; however he has also explained what the problems are and why they keep recurring.  He has kept your appliances clean and has replaced several parts but the time is nearing to replace your system.

You can now take advantage of the new energy efficient models that are on the market by purchasing those that will provide the best service for the needs of your home.  Your new system will be installed by a qualified professional who will give you instructions on proper utilization and maintenance.  The contractor will also be available to provide the same routine care for the new equipment, as with the old, and the need for constant repairs will be part of the past.  If you come across any difficulties or issues with your new system, you and the contractor can check the warranty to have them resolved.

Lower Energy Bills

You probably see a substantial increase in your energy bills in the middle of the winter when temperatures drop the lowest and in the summer when the temperatures are quite high.  With the new energy-efficient heating and air conditioning products, you will see that those costs are lower.  The new appliances are designed to use less electricity and more natural energy sources to provide the same amount of heat and cool air for your home.

Federal Tax Credit

President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to provide tax and spending incentives in order to encourage homeowners to invest in energy efficient HVAC equipment and products.  ENERGYSTAR has gudied the production of multiple appliances available for purchase that qualify for the tax credit.

If you have purchased one of the qualified systems or units for your primary residence you may receive a 30% tax credit when you file your 2009 or 2010 taxes.  You can use the credit for up to $1,500 in related expenses including labor and installation.

Contact your local HVAC professional to learn about the various energy efficient products which are available and they can help you select what you need as well as install them in your home.  Be sure to save your receipts and invoices and include your qualified purchases made in 2009 and 2010 on the IRS form 5695 when filing your taxes to get the tax credit.
