The Inflation Reduction Act Benefits Homeowners Upgrading to SEER2

Couple took advantage of the inflation reduction act for their SEER2 AC unit

The Inflation Reduction Act is a piece of legislation that aims to reduce the rate of inflation by incenting homeowners to upgrade their homes to meet higher energy efficiency standards.

One of the key ways that the Act does this is by offering financial incentives for homeowners in Florida who upgrade to SEER2, which stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.  By upgrading to SEER2 in Central Florida, homeowners can reduce their energy consumption and costs, which helps reduce the overall inflation rate.

SEER2 measures the efficiency of air conditioning systems, with a higher SEER rating indicating a more efficient system.

Top 8 Benefits of The Inflation Reduction Act for Homeowners Upgrading to SEER2

Lower Energy Costs:

Upgrading to an HVAC system with a SEER2 rating can significantly reduce a homeowner’s energy costs. SEER2-rated systems are highly efficient, consuming less energy to provide the same level of heating and cooling compared to older systems. This means that homeowners can save money on their monthly energy bills, as they will be using less energy to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.

Reduced Rate Of Inflation:

Inflation is a persistent increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time, and it can cause the cost of energy to rise over time. Upgrading to a SEER2-rated HVAC system, however, can help mitigate the impact of inflation on energy costs. By consuming less energy, a SEER2-rated system reduces the amount of energy needed to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, making it less affected by inflationary pressures.

Increased Home Value:

Homes that are equipped with energy-efficient HVAC systems are in high demand, as they are more attractive to potential buyers who are looking for homes that are both comfortable and cost-effective to operate. By upgrading to a SEER2-rated HVAC system, a homeowner can increase the value of their home, making it more attractive to potential buyers and increasing its resale value.

Improved Comfort & Indoor Air Quality:

Energy-efficient homes tend to be more comfortable, with better indoor air quality and comfort, as they are better insulated and have better airflow. By consuming less energy, a SEER2-rated system reduces the amount of air pollution and allergens present in the home, improving indoor air quality and making it more comfortable for homeowners. Additionally, these systems are designed to maintain consistent indoor temperatures, which can improve overall comfort levels in the home.

Increased Home Durability:

SEER2 energy-efficient upgrades are designed to last longer and require less maintenance compared to older systems. This means that homeowners who upgrade to a SEER2-rated can expect their air conditioning systems to last longer and require fewer repairs, increasing the overall durability of their home.

Lower Environmental Impact:

Energy consumption is a significant contributor to the carbon footprint of a home, and reducing energy consumption is an effective way to reduce the environmental impact of a home. By consuming less energy, a SEER2-rated AC system reduces the carbon footprint of a home, making it more environmentally friendly. This reduction in energy consumption can also help to mitigate the effects of climate change, making it an important investment for homeowners who are concerned about the environment.

Higher Energy Independence:

By reducing the energy needed to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, homeowners who upgrade to a SEER2 AC system can become more energy independent and less dependent on the energy grid. This means that in the event of power outages or disruptions to the energy grid, a homeowner with a SEER2 will be able to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures for longer periods of time, increasing their overall energy independence.

Eligibility For Government Rebates & Tax Credits:

The Act may offer rebates and tax credits for homeowners who upgrade to SEER2, making the upgrades more affordable. These rebates and tax credits can be significant and can help to offset the upfront cost of upgrading to a SEER2-rated system, making it an attractive option for homeowners who are looking to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.

Consequences Of Not Taking Advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act for Homeowners:

Not upgrading to your air conditioning system can have a significant negative impact on homeowners. It’s important to note that by not taking advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners may face financial consequences such as higher energy bills, loss in home value, and difficulty in selling the property.

It may also lead to reduced comfort, poor indoor air quality, increased environmental impact, less energy independence, and missing out on government incentives.

Therefore, homeowners should consider the potential negative consequences of not upgrading to energy-efficient systems and weigh them against the benefits before making a decision.

  1. Higher Energy Costs: Without upgrading to SEER2, homeowners may have to pay more for energy, as their systems will not be as efficient.
  2. Reduced Home Value: Homes that are not energy efficient tend to be less valuable, so not upgrading to SEER2 can decrease the value of a home.
  3. Uncomfortable & Poor Indoor Air Quality: Without energy-efficient upgrades, the home may be less comfortable, and the indoor air quality may be poor.
  4. Reduced Home Durability: Without energy-efficient upgrades, the home systems may wear out more quickly, reducing the home’s longevity.
  5. Increased Environmental Impact: Not reducing energy consumption can lead to a higher environmental impact.
  6. Less Energy Independence: Homes that are not energy efficient rely more on utility companies, giving homeowners less control over their energy usage.
  7. Missing Out On Government Rebates & Tax Credits: Without upgrading to SEER2, homeowners may miss out on potential rebates and tax credits offered by the government.
  8. Difficulty In Selling The Home: Homes that are not energy efficient may be less desirable to potential buyers, making it more difficult to sell the home.

All these factors can compound over time and create a significant burden for homeowners.

Oh my god what an amazing company! I literally called one hour ago and said that my thermostat wasn’t working and there was a knock on my door within the hour! They told us what to do to fix it therefore saving us a $600 bill. They came right away, none of that we can see you in 48 hour junk. Amazing.

They were able to provide me with same day service, friendly and very responsive. Also, I got 2 other quotes and the pricing was the most competitive.
So thankful and impressed! My dad returned home after having open heart surgery to a completely dead HVAC system in the middle of summer. Definitely not ideal. The repair was going to be pricey so he opted for a new unit. A crew came out on a Saturday and did a very clean and efficient install. Highly recommend this company!!!

Very professional, work very neat and cleaned up and removed stuff. Very impressed with all of the staff and the company.
Our AC decided to quit during one of the hottest heatwaves in years. We called Scott's and someone was at the house to give us a quote in 30 min. From the moment they answered our first phone call through the install everyone was amazing, professional and provided a quality product and excellent service. Craig, Jose, Dexter were awesome! One of the new guys brought us a portable unit at 9:30 PM on a Friday so we could sleep. We missed his name, but shout out to him as well (he likes to give high fives). Thanks Scott and team for everything. We highly recommend!!!

For the past week I've worked with Craig on getting estimates for a new A/C unit, and he has been great at answering my questions and addressing any concerns. Very responsive and knowledgeable, straight shooter and direct! I didn't have to deal with any up-selling like working with a used car salesman (I experienced that with other bigger local A/C companies providing quotes). For these qualities alone I would recommend Scott's A/C, even though I will disclose that we ultimately went with another quote from a family referral of an A/C company. Had that family referral not been apart of our consideration, we would definitely choose and recommend Scott's for new A/C installs and service!

We can't thank Scott's enough. We came home to a air conditioner barely limping along. I called Scott's first thing in the morning and they had a technician out that day. Unfortunately our system could not be saved. The salesman Craig came out that day as well and quoted a new system. Since it was a Friday we could not get the system installed until Tuesday. Scott's provided us with a portable system which definitely helped during the grueling heat wave in Central Florida. Tuesday came, the installers showed up on time and did an awesome installation job. Cleaned everything up and went on their way. Everyone was pleasant, professional and great to work with! Thank You Scott's Heating & Cooling!

Always happy with their response time. Issue started last night causing our A/C unit to shut down. Made a call to Scott's Heating and Air in the morning and a tech was here by 10:45am. Tyrie, the tech, is awesome. He quickly took care of the problem and had us up and running in no time at all. He is knowledgeable and professional and did a great job.
Perfect company to do business with. Professional and courteous in all phases of project.

Excellent response and service. After 25 years of being serviced by a competitor I decided to change companies. AC was out and in need of replacement. Within 24 hours we had the sales rep here and new unit going in for a reasonable expense. No upselling, phony money savings, or timeshare presentations- just a new system without being targeted and pressured into pricey newer technology that will also become obsolete and non reparable every system cycle. I’m recommending to everyone looking for a new provider

Scott’s saved the day for us this evening. Our A/C stopped working and it got hot inside quickly, which was more complicated because I’m 36 weeks pregnant. Scott’s was responsive to our call and within two hours someone had come and fixed our unit!
