 Contact HVAC contractors of your choice to receive their bids. To be sure the system you choose meets the co-op's rebate requirements, either you or your contractor should contact Crawford Electric.
Your HVAC contractor will install the system and is responsible for its proper operation.

After verification, the co-op will issue a rebate check in the amount of $200 per ton of heat pump. ENERGY STAR incentive = $150 per ton heat pump rebate
If the heat pump is an ENERGY STAR rated model, the member receives and additional $150 per ton.
Other Details:
An outdoor temperature setting of 25° F is recommended for the gas furnace activation set-point.
The installation of any electrical resistance heat in any portion of the home will void the member's rebate.
What does Dual Fuel mean?
Dual Fuel means using two fuels to heat the home instead of one. In most cases, this means combining a high efficiency electric heat pump with a fossil fuel furnace (natural gas or propane).
A heat pump is a home comfort unit that will heat your home in the winter and cool it efficiently in the summer.
During mild winter temperatures, that heat pump operates at an incredible 200 to 300 percent efficiency. During the coldest times, the fossil fuel furnace burns at its greatest efficiency.
So by using these two sources of heat, you can actually heat your home for less than if you use only one source of heat. An outdoor thermostat will enable whichever unit will most efficiently heat the home at any given outdoor temperature.
Who can benefit from choosing a Dual Fuel system?
There are several situations that lent themselves to the installation of a Dual Fuel system. You may want to consider Dual Fuel if you are:
Building a new home
Considering adding central air conditioning to an existing home
Planning to replace window air conditioning units or a worn out central air system
Wanting to extend the life of you fossil fuel furnace
