FAQs
What rebates are available for installing a new high-efficiency air conditioner in Clinton?
Homeowners in the Clinton area may qualify for three main types of rebates: 1) MidAmerican Energy’s Residential Equipment Rebates, which typically pay $200–$600 for a 15–20+ SEER2 central AC; 2) Manufacturer promotions that can add another $100–$1,000 depending on the model and season; and 3) Federal incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that provide up to $2,000 for qualifying heat-pump air-conditioning systems. Program details change every year, so we always confirm the current amounts and eligible models before you purchase.
How do I qualify for the federal 25C tax credit on HVAC equipment?
To claim the 25C credit, the equipment must meet specific efficiency thresholds—currently 15.2 SEER2 and 12 EER2 for split air conditioners or ENERGY STAR® certified for heat pumps. You will need the Manufacturer’s Certification Statement (MCS) that lists the equipment’s AHRI number, your paid invoice, and IRS Form 5695. The credit covers 30 % of the installed cost, up to $2,000, and is taken when you file your federal tax return for the year the system was placed in service.
Are there special financing options if I replace both my furnace and AC at the same time?
Yes. Because bundled systems provide higher energy savings, we can offer promotional financing such as 0 % APR for 12–72 months or low-rate loans spread over 5–10 years through Synchrony and GreenSky. Many customers pair these plans with rebates, allowing them to upgrade both units with little or no upfront cash and a monthly payment that is offset by lower utility bills.
What documents do I need to submit for local utility rebates?
Most utilities require: (1) a completed rebate application form signed by the homeowner and contractor, (2) proof of purchase showing model numbers, serial numbers, and total cost, (3) an AHRI certificate demonstrating efficiency ratings, and (4) a copy of the city or county permit where applicable. We assemble and submit this packet for you at no additional charge.
How long does it take to receive my rebate check once the system is installed?
Utility processing times average 4–8 weeks after they receive all paperwork, although larger incentive checks can take up to 12 weeks during peak seasons. If you choose on-bill credits instead of a mailed check, they normally appear on the next one or two billing cycles. We track each submission and follow up with the utility so you don’t have to.
Can I combine manufacturer rebates, local incentives, and financing?
Absolutely. Our rebate team will stack every available incentive in the following order: manufacturer rebate is applied first and instantly reduces your invoice; local utility rebates are submitted next, and any federal tax credit is claimed at year-end. Financing is then arranged on the net amount. Combining programs can cut your out-of-pocket cost by 30–40 % while keeping payments affordable.
