Federal Tax Credits for HVAC Still Available for 2011

Schedule Now

If you took advantage of the 2010 Federal Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency, congratulations! For those who didn’t, consider the credits that are still available until December 2011.

If you hesitated and didn’t pull the trigger in 2010, guess what  there is still time to take advantage of the 2011 Credits for Energy Efficiency. The credits, though not as lavish as 2010, still exist. The difference is a lower percentage rate – 10% of cost up to $500 or a specific amount from $50 – $300. To be more specific on what qualifies and how you can apply, visit the US Department of Energy’s site for full details.

Here are a few of the HVAC products and amount of this year’s tax incentives – but remember, you may be limited if you are subject to the AMT (alternative minimum tax):

  • Central Air Conditioning Credit = $300
  • Electric Heat Pumps Credit = $300
  • Furnaces and Boilers Credit = $150
  • Advanced Main Air Circulating Fan = $50
Due to these credits, some say that HVAC professionals are changing the way they approach a job. So, I’d like to ask a few questions regarding how you think the HVAC industry has reacted:
  1. Have HVAC professionals forgotten how to sell?
  2. Did customers who acted on the $1,500 tax credit really need a new system or did the incentive simply give them good reason to buy now?
  3. Does the government’s involvement in continually making short-term benefits reflect its view of what could happen long term?
As you determine your 2011 HVAC needs, if questions arise, contact an Apollo Home representative online or via phone at (513) 268-8400 to evaluate which incentives are eligible for you. Remember any updates must be in an existing home and this home must be your principal residence. New construction and rentals do not qualify.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."

"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."

"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
