We used Sunshine for the ‘better’ unit, newer Freon and variable two stage motor. We paid $11,780. Outrageous, I know. There is a $2000 tax rebate available. We’ll be lucky to get that!
Sunshine can tell you right away if your new unit qualifies for the rebate. I'm guessing it does. Luck has nothing to do with, it depends on your tax status. You'll have serial numbers for your Air handler and compressor that you include on your tax filing (If purchased in 2024) . We just did this on a unit we purchased in December.
If you replaced your unit in 2025, file for the rebate next year.
