My propane furnace is 21 years old and obviously not efficient. I need assistance to purchase a new furnace. Are there any programs available to help?
Cash-Back Rewards for furnaces are available.
Focus on Energy offers a Cash-Back Reward for furnaces provided they meet the following requirements:
• Installed in a participating Wisconsin electric utility territory
• AFUE of 90 percent or greater
• Have at least 2 stages of heating output
• Have an ECM or variable speed blower motor
Please visit focusonenergy.com/incentives for the latest incentives and requirements, as Focus offers are subject to change.
There may also be federal tax incentives to install this type of system. I suggest visiting the Tax Incentives Assistant Project Web site to learn more. This Web site has information that consumers and businesses need to make use of the federal income tax incentives for energy-efficient products and technologies.
If you meet eligibility requirements, you may qualify to participate in the Targeted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program, which helps customers make energy-efficiency improvements to their homes. The improvements are completed by program consultants at minimal costs to the homeowner and will make your home more comfortable, safe, and energy efficient.
