FP&L (Florida Power & Light) Residential A/C Rebate Schedule link: Rebate Schedule.
Updated 04/26/12: The House Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to hear testimony today on various bills to extend the tax incentives that expired at the end of 2011 or will expire at the end of this year.
According to the Joint Tax Committee, there are approximately 70 tax incentives eligible for extension by Congress, many of them are targeted to help small business owners make capital investments in their businesses.
Members of the Congress will have the opportunity to testify in support of legislation to extend expiring tax provisions they have introduced or co-sponsored legislation this year. There is expected to be discussion of extending the tax credit for the installing higher efficiency HVAC equipment (Section 25C), construction of energy efficient homes (Section 45L), the 15 year straight line depreciation for qualified improvements to leasehold, restaurants, and retail buildings (Section 168), bonus depreciation for small businesses (Section 168), and increased expensing allowance to $500,000/$2,000,000 and expansion of Section 179.
As a member of the Residential Energy Efficient Tax Credit Industry Coalition, ACCA submitted testimony urging for the extension and expansion of the residential energy tax credit. The coalition is seeking a robust energy efficiency tax credit for qualified products, including furnaces, central air conditioners, and heat pumps, of 10 percent of the purchase price up to $1,000. The coalition believes that a $1,000 tax credit is generally the minimum incentive needed to motivate consumers to improve their homes by purchasing these higher-performing products, and to do so in sizable enough numbers to positively influence residential energy consumption.

RAPL Series
Rheem Classic Series 14 SEER Premium Condensing Unit Featuring R-410A Refrigerant
RHEEM GREEN IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP
The RAPL model features Earth-friendly R-410A refrigerant.
SCROLL COMPRESSOR
The most expensive component of any condensing unit is the compressor. Rheem installs Copeland® Compliant Scroll® Compressors throughout its entire residential air conditioning line for proven dependability, efficiency, and sound reduction.
WRAPAROUND CABINET
Rheem air conditioning units are constructed with a powder-coat paint finish and galvanized steel cabinet to protect the condensing coil fins from yard hazards, extreme weather, and corrosion.
BASE PAN
The entire Rheem air conditioning line uses a sturdy, one-piece drawn and painted base pan. This pan elevates the coil off the pad, helping minimize corrosion while reducing sound and vibration.
PRESSURE CONTROLS
Rheem installs high and low pressure controls on high-efficiency models (options on standard-efficiency models) to protect the scroll compressor from pressure extremes.
OUTDOOR COIL
Rheem air conditioning units use an innovative wraparound outdoor coil constructed of copper tubing and aluminum fins. This design allows improved airflow transfer and helps reduce energy consumption.
EASY-ACCESS PANEL
Servicing your Rheem air conditioning unit is easy thanks to the single “easy access” panel. A service technician can easily remove this panel for access to the compressor and control box.
RQPW-B Series
Rheem Classic Series 14 SEER Package Dual Fuel featuring Earth-Friendly R-410A Refrigerant
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
The Package Dual Fuel Unit is a package heat pump with a gas furnace installed in the heat section instead of electric heat that a standard package heat pump features.This hybrid package system allows for both comfort and energy savings by utilizing the electric heat pump for warmth, except in colder periods, which is when the gas furnace would take over to assure maximum comfort and energy savings.
THE COPELAND SCROLL COMPRESSOR
All of our residential package units – regardless of efficiency level – feature the Copeland Compliant Scroll Compressor. The scroll compressors uses a more advanced technology than traditional reciprocating compressors. They have fewer moving parts, and they are quieter, more efficient, and longer lasting.
DURABLE CABINET WITH LOUVERED CONDENSER COMPARTMENT
Our cabinets have a powder painted finish that protects them from the harshest weather extremes and keeps them looking new for years. And our louvered condenser compartment is the best in the industry for protecting the condenser coil against yard hazards and weather extremes.
GRILLE/FAN MOTOR MOUNT
Our motor mount helps protect the fan motor from the elements for longer life. Its design also helps reduce vibration and noise.
FURNACE COMPARTMENT
Located inside the easily accessible furnace compartment is the control box, draft inducer motor, in-shot gas burners, the gas valve and manifold. Control box operational controls are “up front” for quick access and service diagnostics.The draft inducer motor is specially designed to quietly provide combustion air while simultaneously venting outdoors the combustion products from the furnace heat exchanger. In addition to the draft inducer motor, the in-shot gas burners, gas valve and manifold efficiently regulate the flow of gas for combustion.These new gas/electric units also feature direct-spark ignition and remote flame sensors for added reliability and efficiency.
MATCHED BLOWER/EVAPORATOR COIL UNIT
The blower is responsible for the flow of air into your ductwork. It has been designed to match the evaporator coil and other system components for maximum efficiency. In addition, the coil features rifled copper tubing and enhanced fins for improved efficiency.
TUBULAR HEAT EXCHANGER
Our new Package Dual Fuel Units feature a tubular stainless steel heat exchanger design.Tubular heat exchangers are more efficient and durable than older-style clamshell heat exchangers.The factory standard stainless steel heat exchanger is backed by a limited lifetime warranty in residential applications.
SERVICE FITTINGS
Exterior service fittings enable a serviceman to quickly determine unit operating conditions.

ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America) have a new website feature helps contractors and Consumers Find Energy Efficiency Incentives – this wonderful page is worth a look here is the link: http://www.acca.org/consumer/dsire
Read the 04/26/12 update: Click here.
Updated 2/29/12:
There is a bill circulating the Senate that, if passed, will create tax credits for consumers that reduce their energy usage by at least 20%. The bill establishes a $2,000 base credit for the first 20% decrease with a $500 stepend for each 5% reduction thereafter. The credit will be capped at $5,000 or 30% of the qualified expenditures, whichever is the lesser amount.
Experts have estimated that this bill will create about 19,000 jobs through contracting, supply, and manufacturing while saving 1.7 billion kilowatthours and 18 trillion Btu of fuel by 2016. This is enough energy to power 375,000 homes!
No one is sure if Congress will pass the bill as it does not identify where the funding will come from, but the fact that energy saving bills are still being considered in Congress is a good sign. This shows that the national mindset toward energy efficiency is changing, becoming more important to the everyday consumer. End of 2/29/12 update.

Reactivation of HVAC Rebate
the following resolution for funding the HVAC Rebate Program.
Consumers who purchased or contracted for purchase a qualifying HVAC or geothermal unit
through a Florida-licensed contractor between August 29 and September 14, 2010 will be eligible
for the $1,500 HVAC Rebate. Consumers must have the completed rebate application, including
all required documentation, at the rebate processing center by November 30, 2010.
A copy of the HVAC Rebate application has been attached to this Alert for your convenience.
All qualifying HVAC rebates will be paid first from the available funding. It is anticipated that the
HVAC rebates will total approximately $2.47 million. The remaining funds (approximately $28
million) will then be disbursed on a percentage basis to each unpaid and approved solar rebate.
On Tuesday November 16, 2010, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 15A approving funding for all qualified applications for the Florida Energy Star Residential HVAC Rebate program with constraints. To qualify:
- The HVAC or geothermal system must have been purchased or contracted for purchase with a Florida-licensed contractor between August 30, 2010, and September 14, 2010.
- The new HVAC or geothermal system must be fully installed before November 30, 2010.
- A complete application (with four required documents included) must be submitted to our rebate administrator on or before November 30, 2010.
Government is getting ready to Launch Florida Cash for Clunkers for A/C’s in August
MORE savings in August for Florida consumers!
Florida’s Cash for Clunker Appliances program soon will be: Rebates for clunker air conditioning systems.
State officials have recently approved a program that will give Floridians a flat fee rebate for new Energy Star-rated central air conditioning and air source heat pumps systems purchased before the end of the year.
- The amount of the rebate is still to be determined.
- Window or room air conditioning units will not be included.
- Only residential home installations will be covered.
- The state rebate can be combined with the $1500 federal energy tax credit available & the Rheem Consumer Cash Back Rebate
–– so get ready for August SAVINGS in Florida! ––
Trade in your clunker for a new Energy Star-rated air conditioning or air source heat pumps system make the purchase before the end of the year, said Brenda Buchan, the chief analyst with the Governor’s Energy Office who managed the Energy Star appliance rebates program.
Window or room air conditioning units will not be included, as these products were covered under the cash for appliance program.Buchan said Florida also is considering including Energy Star hot water heaters in the new program but a decision has not yet been reached. Only residential home installations will be covered.
An added bonus: The state rebate, which will be funded with federal energy stimulus money allocated to Florida, can be combined with the federal energy tax credit available to those who purchase central air conditioning systems. That credit – which is 30 percent of the price of the system with a maximum of $1,500 – will expire at the end of the year. For information on the federal tax credit, go to energystar.gov and put “federal tax credit” in the search field. South Florida homeowners also will be able to stack Florida Power & Light’s rebate, which fluctuates according to the price and efficiency of units purchased, on top of the state and federal givebacks. Between the three, it easily could be possible for consumers to get new systems for half the usual price, said Oscar Calleja, president of the South Florida Air Conditioning Contractors Association. “I should be a great, great program,” said Calleja, a partner with Florida Energy Raters in Margate. “I just wish we had more time.” There are no details yet on the air conditioner program. Buchan said they should be announced in early August. The program could begin as early as the end of that month, meaning units would need to be purchased from that date through year’s end. While the new offer probably will resemble cash for clunker appliances, Buchan said there will be no reservations or priority numbers required. The appliance program, which offered a 20 percent rebate on six types of new appliances, required consumers to first register for a priority number, to ensure there was enough funds to process all rebate applications in the pipeline. Floridians embraced the appliance-rebate program, which began on April 16; demand was so high that the program ran out of money within 48 hours. Buchan said about 4,000 of the more than 70,000 appliance rebate checks already have been sent but the bulk should begin arriving in mid-July. Buchan said the processing has taken longer than expected, as the state is auditing each application after it’s been processed by an independent contractor. But she expects the state will be able to give rebates to all 4,000 people who submitted applications without priority numbers or after the deadline and were placed on a waiting list.
