Austin Residents to get Rebates and Tax Credits for HVAC Replacement and Increased Energy Savings

Feb. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- AUSTIN, TX – Homeowners to receive over $3,200 in rebates and a tax credit for replacing outdated air conditioning systems and following recommended energy upgrades, which will result in ongoing savings in utilities and energy conservation.

Airco Mechanical Ltd., a participating contractor with Austin Energy’s Home Performance with Energy Star program, is excited to announce the combined financial benefit of the return of Austin Energy’s “Best Offer Ever,” and the reinstated federal 25C tax credit for high-efficiency HVAC equipment. In addition, homeowners can get low APR financing for any remaining balances after the rebates have been applied.

Airco encourages participating residents to take advantage of the opportunity to weatherproof their home, add insulation and replace old heating and cooling units at a fraction of the retail value during this limited-time offer. AE’s Best Offer Ever is available only through March 31, 2013. The federal 25C tax credit will be available through Dec. 31, 2013. For a full list of qualified energy-saving services, residents can call 512-634-8049, or visit aircoaustin.com.

The “Best” part of AE’s offer, says Wes Stearns, retail manager for Airco’s Austin location, is that residents are able to have the rebate sent to Airco and finance the remaining balance at 3.99% APR with terms up to 10 years. Monthly payments as low as $45 are possible for complete projects, making these services more affordable than ever before, since the payment will often be offset by the estimated monthly utility savings, says Stearns. This offer has been made possible in part by a federal grant, which is not connected to the 25C tax credit.

The additional federal 25C tax credit, which initially expired at the end of 2011, has been retroactively reinstated by Congress and President Obama in order to avoid the so-called “fiscal cliff.” This law will stay in effect until Dec. 31, 2013.

Airco offers a wide spectrum of incentives for residents who decide to take advantage of these energy and cash-saving opportunities. Some of these incentives include free attic insulation, a 1-year maintenance plan with each install, and a free analysis of your existing equipment.
