Be sure to check your heater before the cold weather arrives!

A cold front is headed toward Central Florida that could send temperatures into the low 20’s. If those predictions hold true it will be the coldest temperatures for the region in the last 20 years. Homes and businesses throughout the greater Orlando area will be putting more stress on their heating systems than they have in years. Please make certain you are prepared for the frigid air and not left without heat.

Tips to prepare your home or business for cold weather;

Test your heating system to make sure there is ample hot air coming out. If not, get your system serviced immediately.
If your electrical heater hasn’t had an annual inspection, make an appointment with your air conditioning and heating service today!
If you have an oil powered system make sure there is plenty of fuel to get you through. If not, or it is in question, have your tank filled.

Florida Legislature to reimburse homeowners $2.5 million for air conditioner/ HVAC “cash for clunker” rebate program.

LRFMadmin — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 22:17:48 +0000

As part of a bill that accepted $31 million in Federal Stimulus money, the Florida Legislature allocated approximately $2.5 million to be applied to the State of Florida’s Energy Star HVAC Rebate Program which was abruptly halted on September 15th, 2010 because a ”procedural error”. The problem is that 3000 people applied for the rebate during its 2 week life. The program was originally scheduled to last until December 31, 2010. The rebates the state offered were $1500 per household system. The math reflects the amount needed to cover the homeowners who took advantage of the rebate is around $4.5 million. That leaves homeowners short by $2 million or 40% of what is required for the state to make good on its commitment. It appears that either some of the applicants (60%) will get rebates or will only get a fraction of what the program offered.

The news is especially troubling because homeowners had to pay to have their duct system inspected by a certified inspector to qualify for the rebate. Bill Green, Vice President of Green’s Energy Systems has been working hard to help his clients get their rebates. “People purchased these systems based on the promise (by the state) they would get the $1500 rebate. Now, they are left holding the bag and will probably not get the full amount owed to them. This is really disappointing and will make life difficult for a lot of people! Most of our customers who took advantage of the program are having the same financial issues everybody else in the country is having and the rebate was the only way they could afford a new air conditioning system.”

The State of Florida Energy Star HVAC Rebate program was originally supposed to be funded for $17.5 million enough for approximately 10,000 rebates. It doesn’t appear likely that the program will be reinstituted. The program was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. $26.8 of the $31 million will be used to pay some of the shortfall of the states solar rebate which ended in June. That is just half of what the state committed to.

Federal tax Rebate for Energy Efficient/ Energy Star Products ends December 30, 2010

LRFMadmin — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 19:26:10 +0000

These are the final 3 months of the Federal tax credits for the purchase of Energy Star rated products. The tax credit to Homeowners is 30% of the total system price up to a maximum of $1500. To qualify, the system must meet a minimum efficiency level. The product must be purchased and installed before December 31, 2010 to qualify for the rebate. Because there is an expected rush to save money before the program expires, it is advisable to plan ahead to avoid missing out on a specific product, or lose the savings from the installation because of dealer backlog.

State of Florida Energy Star HVAC Rebate Program Temporarily Suspended

LRFMadmin — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 21:46:15 +0000

Consumer Alert- State of Florida Energy Star Air Conditioning Rebate on Hold
September 15, 2010- The State of Florida has stopped taking applications for the Florida Energy Star HVAC Rebate Program. This appears to be a temporary problem, but there is little information available to confirm how long this “interruption” will last.
Bill Green, Vice-President of Green’s Energy Services in Orlando, Florida expressed his frustration for customers who signed up to take advantage of the rebate program. “Our customers who bought their air conditioners predicated on getting $1500 from the state are being left in limbo”, says Green. “$1500 is a lot of money, but in these economic times it is even more impactful on families. The state requires you to go through some hurdles to get the rebate, like having your ductwork inspected. Some clients are already far into that process. This is unfair to them! While I am confident it will be resumed, we are not getting enough information from the state to confirm that or when it will be”.
The $17.5 million used to fund the program is comes from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the money is there to be used. According to our sources the federal government is providing money to the state but requires a technical adjustment in the budget process before the Florida Energy Office can give out checks. The Florida Legislative Budget commission could have fixed that in a meeting yesterday, but did not.
We will keep you posted as this develops. You can find the latest information on the State of Florida’s rebate site .
