Good news for Connecticut Homeowners wanting to go green! This is an opportunity to save on installation of your new furnace or boiler and then save in your utility bills every month, while being able to feel good about helping our environment!!!

The State of Connecticut offers a furnace rebate of up to $500 to reward residents for purchasing high-efficiency boilers & furnaces. For more details, visit the Connecticut State Website: www.ct.gov/opm/site. Be sure to check out the details (Click on the replacement guidelines & application materials link. You will find both the income chart and links to search for energy-efficient heating units on the energystar site:

 

o for furnaces: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=furnaces.pr_furnaces; and,

o for boilers: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=boilers.pr_boilers.

.

For a heating system to be eligible the efficiency level must be 84% or above (84 is not just a highway in CT!). If your dealer tells you they only have 83.5% units, find another dealer. Also, the rebate is reduced as your income increases (currently, 2007 income levels are used to determine the amount of your rebate). As an example, if you are married and filing a joint tax return, you would be eligible for the full $500 if your CT Adjusted Gross Income is below $100,500. With a CT Adjusted Gross Income of $150,000, your rebate would be $250.
