Hi All,

I just found out today that Pennsylvania has announced higher rebates to homeowners that install qualifying EnergyStar heating equipment. Some of the rebates have as much as doubled or tripled.  For example on one type of gas furnace the rebate is increasing from $300-$1,000.  The best part is sometimes these rebates can be combined with existing Federal Tax Credits. Please visit the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection website for more information. 

Best,

Abby
