A homeowner in Pickering, Ontario works with an experienced HVAC pro to improve comfort, efficiency, and energy savings with a high-efficiency hydronic forced-air furnace upgrade.

High-end HVAC typically means high-efficiency products, which may qualify for the tax and rebate incentives available now. Here’s a look at how three manufacturers are helping contractors leverage incentives.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who dropped out of the presidential race early this year, has backtracked on accepting his state’s share of federal funding for the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program.

With HVAC technology evolving faster than ever before and a nationwide push for decarbonization and electrification, the need for an advanced heat pump water heater is clear, and this gold-winning new unit fits that bill.

Rebate programs associated with the Inflation Reduction Act for the purchase of high-efficiency HVAC equipment are finally picking up steam, after a near year and a half since the IRA was signed into law.

Homeowners mostly want to install high-efficiency equipment because of the comfort it brings and rebates associated. If contractors know what to highlight about the equipment, it can sell itself.

Residential gas furnaces must all have a minimum AFUE of 95% beginning in five years. Some in the HVAC industry say the new Department of Energy rule will ultimately hurt homeowners.

Transcend Communities are net zero, all-electric, healthy, resilient, connected, solar-powered, and cost-effective homes located in mixed-use communities — and an in-floor radiant system that will heat and cool both air and water is pivotal to this.
