What belongs in a rebate check?
A complete rebate check usually looks at four buckets: electric utility programs, manufacturer offers, federal tax rules, and state or local assistance programs. Any one of those can change without the HVAC contractor controlling it.
- Your electric utility and service address.
- Whether the equipment model qualifies before installation.
- Whether paperwork must be submitted before or after installation.
- Whether a tax professional should review federal eligibility.
