High Efficiency is an umbrella term covering 3 phases of this program.  Quality installation is required whether it be replacement or new work. A customer who is buying a new high efficiency, AHRI listed system can qualify for the “New Equipment rebate.”  If the customer is replacing on older system of 12 SEER or less with a new 14 SEER or higher they may also qualify for the trade in as well.  The new equipment must be installed (and paper work completed) by a contractor participating and approved under the Xcel program.  For more information about this excellent rebate program designed to help lower your cooling costs visit http://www.xcelenergy.com  Rebates can be up to $1,000 so check out the details today and let your friends know about this opportunity. It is an “COOL” value.
