There is an exciting new program from the gas company that will allow you to get a $1000 rebate and when combined with federal tax credits of $1500, earns a total of $2500 off the cost of a new heating and cooling system. This is almost half the cost of the entire system and when combined with the $1000 rebate now available from Trane, makes this the most lucrative time of the year to replace your old worn out furnace and air conditioner. This new program is called “Dump the Pump” .
The new program from the AGL, the local gas provider, gives you the chance to replace your old heat pump or dual fuel system with a new high efficiency gas furnace and air conditioner and get $1000 no strings attached. Many of these old heat pump dual fuel systems were installed in past years as a result of kickbacks paid to heating and air contractors or builders by the local electrical companies. Many of these systems were not installed or applied correctly and they have not given good service or comfort. The local gas company for most of metro Atlanta is AGL and they serve everyone except the city of Sugar Hill and city of Austell. If you have a marketer, such a Scana or Walton Gas you purchase your gas through AGL and can earn the rebate. This rebate is available only through a select few approved contractors chosen by AGL to perform these dual fuel replacements. While a heat pump can be a good choice for a basement, many times they do not work as well as a gas furnace as the primary heating system in existing older homes or homes without extensive insulation in the walls and attics. This $1000 rebate is a great opportunity to get rid of an old heat pump that never should have been installed in the first place.
Trane now has some very lucrative rebates and finance offers available through the end of November 2010 that will help reduce the cost of a replacement system even more. There are instant rebates of $200, $400 and even $1000 on 16, 17 and 20 seer systems. Or if you prefer, Trane will give you three year interest free financing to pay for a new comfort system as you enjoy the energy savings and comfort afforded you by modern day Energy Star systems. The 3 year program requires no down payment, so one can immediately start enjoying the comfort and savings aspect of this program without any initial outlay of resources. Many people have contacted us this past summer about high energy bills and air conditioners that cannot keep up with the extreme heat wave we have seen this year. This past winter, we also saw colder temperatures than I can remember and the cold snap went on and on for months. These new tax credit qualifying systems also save hundreds of dollars in gas cost and can improve the comfort level of any home.
Dump your Pump today and enjoy up to $3500 in true rebate and incentives that will help you long term to enjoy your most valued belonging, your home. Enjoy lower utility cost, improved comfort, and lower humidity levels today!
