Combine Govt Tax Credits, Rebates for Energy Savings

By admin on January 25th, 2010

Currently, the United States Government is offering a federal tax
credit if you buy an energy-efficient product or renewable energy
system for your home. For example, if you purchase an HVAC (Heating,
Ventilating, Air Conditioning) unit such as an advanced main air
circulating fan, an air source heat pump, central air conditioning, a
gas, propane, or oil hot water boiler, a natural gas or propane
furnace, or an oil furnace, you can qualify for federal tax credits.
Specific details related to the Energy-Star Federal Tax Credits for
Consumers are available here:

energystar.gov website.

Besides these very lucrative national and local rebates, credits and
discounts, Service Experts (http://www.HVACclearance.com/sm) can
provide new EnergyStar-rated heating and cooling equipment at a
discount until March 31 2009, at which time some of those deep
discounts will end.
