The program’s goal is to improve energy value throughout Maryland. By helping to pay for new, highly efficient HVAC systems this goal will be accomplished. Whether your organization uses Heat Pumps, Air Conditioning, gas split systems or packaged units, the Empower Maryland program will pay up to 70% for a new replacement system if qualified.

Upgrading Your HVAC Equipment

There are many reasons to consider replacing your existing HVAC equipment. Energy consumption is high on that list. HVAC systems can lose efficiency over time leading to higher and higher energy expenses. Reducing energy costs can save a lot on money in the long term.

Additionally, systems more than ten years old may be using R22 Freon refrigerant which has become obsolete. R22 was banned from production in the United States in 2010 and banned from import in 2020.  R22 is often unavailable and very costly when it is needed. Systems using R22 will need to be replaced at some point. Only now you can have part of that cost subsidized.

Newer, more energy efficient HVAC systems can provide better ventilation. They are quieter to operate and we can offer a ten year parts and ten year labor warranty. Older systems often require costly repairs. Having a ten year parts and ten year labor warranty can provide peace of mind and less out-of-pocket expenditures.

There are many HVAC technologies which will help accomplish energy savings. Inverter technology allows for variable speed motors which are far less energy consuming and much more efficient overall.

Aside from energy savings, newer more energy efficient systems come with better comfort controls. WiFi and programmable features and more are available.
