Tips & Warnings
If you are a business owner, you might take time to read "Case Studies and Key Benefits of Purchasing Energy Star--Qualified Products" on the Energy Star website. The site also provides online training for the procurement and use of Energy Star--qualified products for your company and offers information on taking advantage of the tax credits for doing so.
It may be a good idea to call the EPA or email them through energystar.gov to double check on whether the merchant you're purchasing the heat-pump package from is actually selling Energy Star--approved ones. It's better to be safe than sorry.
