WHY IS THE CENTERPOINT REBATE PROGRAM IMPORTANT?

OVERVIEW OF CENTERPOINT INCENTIVE
Trane Centerpoint Rebates Available on HVAC 2015
HOW DO I SAVE $8,266?
- You must currently have a 5 Ton (size) electric heating system that is NOT a heat pump
- You must have a contractor perform a Manual J Heat Load Calculation
- Have the contractor then install a new 21+ SEER Heat Pump HVAC system
- Fill out all proper paperwork – acknowledgement forms etc.
WARNING #1: Its up to the Contractor on How much you get!!
Contractors are responsible for 50% of the rebate amount and Counterpoint the other 50%. So you better believe that many contractors will NOT be giving the full $8,266 because otherwise they would lose $4,133 in PROFIT!!!! Some contractors may do this but be very wary of their total ticket. Some may up their retail price to prevent the loss. Additionally, Centerpoint has the authority to audit work. I’m sure they will target companies and jobs that have the biggest rebates first.
WARNING#2: PROGRAM MONEY IS LIMITED
These funds are LIMITED. Installations MUST be performed between Feb 6th & Oct 31 2015. STILL funds typically RUN OUT well before the date cut off. So if you have the incling that you’re HVAC system needs to be replaced this year or next you should think seriously about acting sooner than later.
WHY IS CENTERPOINT GIVING AWAY MONEY IN 2015?
Its curious right? A localized monopoly is just giving thousands of dollars away? Great question. While I cannot answer the questions with great authority I sure can speculate why they would do this. I believe they have enacted this program and others to1) Give the public warm fuzzies (marketing) 2) Even out electrical load demands in order to prevent rolling blackouts in summer or winter 3) Gather data on HVAC systems knowing home performance and tracking for future programs etc. Probably more 2 and 3.
