Wells are to be adequately sized for the load of the incentivized systems. Heating BTU is based on full-load rated capacity on AHRI certificate. The efficiency requirement applies to single stage GSHP models. Multi-stage GSHP models may be qualified based on:

  • EER = (highest rated capacity EER + lowest rated capacity EER) / 2
  • COP = (highest rated capacity COP + lowest rated capacity COP) / 2

 
Additional $250 rebate for qualifying desuperheater when installed on residential systems and, in conjunction with, an electric tank storage water heater. Rebates are subjected to cost caps.
