Heating, Cooling and Water Heating

Consumers Energy is pleased to announce a year-end contractor bonus program, designed to reward participating contractors for 2022 application submissions and great effort towards another successful program year.

As a reminder, beginning Jan. 1, 2023, there will be updated performance standards and testing procedures in effect for central air conditioners and air source heat pumps. The update in performance standards will result in new rating efficiencies: SEER2, HSPF2, and EER2.

As part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, federal tax credits for energy efficient home upgrades have been extended. Any qualifying home improvements to your customer’s primary residence completed after December 31, 2021, may be eligible for federal tax credits when filing for tax year 2022. This is an opportunity for your customers to potentially offset the cost of their qualifying home improvements even further.

Beginning January 1, 2023, there will be updated performance standards and testing procedures in effect for central air conditioners and air source heat pumps.

Consumers Energy residential customers are eligible for a comprehensive tune-up rebate for each qualifying heating unit every 2 years, and each qualifying central air conditioner unit every 5 years.
