Contractor Instructions
90+ AFUE Modulating Boilers: natural gas customers only are eligible for this incentive
90+ AFUE Modulating Boilers and 90+ AFUE Furnaces with ECM:
These incentives are only available for pre-qualified models: see the pre-qualified equipment list in the Efficient Heating and Cooling Program Guide.
If you plan to install a model that is not on the pre-qualified list, please submit an Equipment Qualification Formbefore installation to verify that the model meets program criteria.
Chimney liners must be installed where a high efficiency natural gas furnace or boiler replaces atmospherically-drafted equipment that was vented through the same flue as a gas water heater.
Flue closure protocol must be followed where a high efficiency furnace or boiler is installed and the chimney is no longer in use (i.e. by a gas water heater). See the Flue Closure Protocol in the Program Guide for additional information.
Central Air Conditioning Systems (SEER 14, 15 or 16+):
Check the appropriate SEER level and complete the equipment and installation information.
The condenser model and serial number, evaporator model and serial number, and ARI (Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute) reference number are required for all installations.
System efficiency is based solely on the evaporator and condenser coils: the SEER may not be increased by factoring in the efficiency of a variable speed forced air heating system fan, except where a two-stage air conditioner is installed.
All efficiency ratings will be verified using the ARI database
Both the condenser and evaporator coils must be replaced.
Charge and airflow data must be submitted for all equipment installed between May 15 and September 15. See Refrigerant Charge & Airflow Instructions in the Program Guide for additional information.
