Woodbury Goes Green: A Furnace Replacement Incentive
To encourage residents to install new, energy efficient furnaces and air conditioning systems, the City of Woodbury Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is expanding its "Woodbury Goes Green" program to include a furnace replacement incentive.
As of June 1, all Woodbury residents are eligible for a $250 discount off a 95 percent Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) furnace and/or a $250 discount on a 16 Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) air conditioning system through this program.
"The federal tax credits that are currently available for qualifying energy upgrades, coupled with the $250 Woodbury discount, make furnace replacement much more affordable to home owners who might be considering a new system," said Karl Batalden, Woodbury's housing specialist.
The city has partnered with seven HVAC contractors to offer this discount to interested home owners. Batalden anticipates that additional partners will be added to the furnace replacement incentive program in the upcoming weeks. Come back to this page for updates.
Federal tax credits available
A new federal tax credit is available for 30 percent of the cost of certain energy efficiency upgrades, with the credit amount capped at $1,500. Furnaces must be 95 percent AFUE and air conditioning systems must be at least 16 SEER. For more details see:
www.energystar.gov.
A tax credit works to directly reduce the tax liability owed by a taxpayer. This federal tax credit expires in 2010, so don't miss out.
"Furnace replacements are among the most cost-effective methods to reduce your energy bills, especially if your furnace was installed prior to 1997," Batalden noted.
The Woodbury HRA also can provide qualifying home owners with a low-interest loan to further assist your energy efficiency upgrades. Get more bang for your buck! Combine a low-interest Woodbury Goes Green loan with the new $250 discount being offered in the furnace replacement incentive program. To learn more, visit the Woodbury Goes Green Loan page.
HVAC Contractors
The following HVAC contractors have partnered with the city to offer a $250 discount to Woodbury residents installing a 95 percent AFUE furnace and/or a $250 discount on a 16 SEER air conditioning system. Residents may contact any of these companies for more information. All contractors are licensed and bonded, but their participation in this program does not imply endorsement by the City of Woodbury HRA.
