Daikin Solves Historically Complex Process Facing HVAC Contractors

Daikin Comfort Technologies North America has streamlined a historically complex process that frustrated HVAC contractors and limited high-efficiency equipment sales.

A myriad of state, local and utility energy-efficiency rebates are available to help accelerate sales of high-efficiency HVAC equipment and lower costs for homeowners, but contractors often struggle with complex program rules, availability and requirements, explains Doug Widenmann, senior vice president of marketing for Daikin. Some contractors are not using these available energy-efficiency rebates and potentially missing an opportunity to incentivize customer sales, Widenmann says.

Using a unified, easy-to-use process, the new Daikin Energy Rebate Center helps Daikin, Goodman and Amana brand HVAC contractors quickly identify energy-efficiency rebates nationwide, conveniently submit applications and immediately verify if they meet the requirements, or are missing vital information.

Daikin’s solution is robust, covering energy-efficiency rebates with more than 150 programs, currently available in 37 states with more to come soon. The states not currently available include Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.

Focusing on high-efficiency products like side-discharge, inverter heat pumps, Daikin Energy Rebate Center uses granular, address-level data to identify available rebates, then provides a simplified application process that checks to ensure eligibility.
