Whether you're replacing an aging HVAC system, upgrading to a heat pump, or improving overall home performance, there may be more savings available than most homeowners realize.

Energy Saver North Carolina. Start with this one.

Featured savings program — rebates for qualified home energy upgrades

Tru72 features the Energy Saver North Carolina program, which may provide substantial rebates for qualifying energy-efficient upgrades through the federal HOMES & HEAR initiatives.

Depending on household eligibility and the improvements being made, homeowners may qualify for rebates including: up to $8,000 toward qualifying heat pump systems, electrical panel upgrade incentives, wiring and electrical improvement rebates, insulation and air sealing assistance, and heat pump water heater incentives.

These programs are designed to help homeowners lower energy use, improve comfort, and make high-efficiency upgrades more affordable. Homeowners can begin the qualification process directly through Energy Saver North Carolina before scheduling installation with Tru72.

What it means: You start the qualification, we do the install. Doing it in that order is what keeps the rebate available.

Additional savings programs. All in one table.

In addition to statewide rebate programs, many homeowners may also qualify for additional utility, manufacturer, and federal savings opportunities.

Every home, and every rebate program, is different. Whether you qualify depends on your household and the equipment. We'll check it on the visit, before you commit to anything.

Combine rebates with financing.

Many homeowners combine rebates with financing to reduce upfront costs while upgrading to a more comfortable, efficient system. Tru72 offers financing options designed to help make larger home comfort investments more manageable.

Efficiency is more than equipment selection.

Our approach is built around proper diagnostics, system performance, and home comfort testing. That helps homeowners avoid oversized systems, airflow issues, and energy waste that can quietly drive up utility bills over time.

  1. We size the system to the house.

    A Manual J load calculation against your actual home — square footage, ceiling heights, windows, insulation — rather than matching the badge on the old unit. An oversized system short cycles, never pulls the humidity out, and wears out in half the time.

    What it means: The rebate is worth a great deal less on a system that was the wrong size on day one.

  2. We measure the air before we sell equipment.

    Static pressure and airflow across the system, and duct leakage where the numbers point that way.

    Up to 30% of a home's heating and cooling energy can be wasted through duct leaks.

    What it means: Sometimes the efficiency upgrade that pays back fastest isn't equipment at all. It's sealing what you already have.

What it means: We don't guess. We test. That philosophy helps ensure your system performs the way it should long after installation day.

A few things worth knowing.

The questions homeowners ask most often about rebates and credits.

Do you apply for the rebates for me?

Homeowners begin the qualification process directly through Energy Saver North Carolina before scheduling installation with Tru72. We help you identify qualifying systems and review the options, and we'll check what applies on the visit, before you commit to anything.

How do I know if I qualify?

It depends on your household and on the improvements being made. Every home, and every rebate program, is different. Our team can help you identify qualifying systems, understand potential rebate opportunities, and review financing options.

Can I combine a rebate with a tax credit and financing?

Many homeowners combine rebates with financing to reduce upfront costs. Federal energy-efficiency tax credits are administered by the IRS — consult your tax professional about the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit.

Does the equipment have to be a particular brand?

The programs are written around efficiency ratings and equipment type, not brand. We install Daikin and Goodman, and we size the system with a Manual J load calculation rather than to a sales target.
