Technical Details
- Equipment must be AHRI rated and must meet the minimum requirements on the measure list.
- Tonnage is based on AHRI cooling capacity. (1 ton = 12,000 BTUs). Tonnage is calculated by dividing AHRI cooling capacity by ton and rounding to two decimal places.
- The qualifying EER and BTUs are based on the equipment’s Ground-Loop Heat Pump “GLHP” ratings listed by AHRI regardless of the install type
