1 Mini-split heat pumps that only provide cooling are not eligible. SEER/SEER2 - Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. HSPF/HSPF2 - Heating Seasonal Performance Factor is a ratio of an air source heat pump’s heat output to electricity use over an average heating season. COP - Coefficient of Performance is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work required. Rounding up of SEER/SEER2 and HSPF/HSPF2 ratings is not acceptable.
2 For equipment requiring Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) listing, refer to NEEP.org.
3 ENERGY STAR V6.1 requirements can be found HERE.
4 Limit four (4) rebates per RI residential electric account.
5 Enhanced rebate amounts offered for homes that heat primarily with electric baseboard resistance heating.
