Summary: Heat Pump Additional Incentive Requirement Change
Questions: Please contact Contractor Support at 1-800-284-9069.

For heat pump projects where the Participating Contractor is looking for the additional incentive, there has been an update to the requirements for existing ducted systems.

In Section 5.10 of the Program Manual under Additional Incentive Project Requirements, the existing language for: 2. Static pressure test for existing ductwork as per ANSIRESNETACCA_310-2020_v7.1.pdf. is being replaced with the following: 2. For existing ducted systems, accurate measurements of the supply/return and any runoffs from those plenums is required. Along with the measurements, we will need proof that the new system will work effectively with the existing ductwork by providing us with ductolator or equivalent measurements based off the CFM of the proposed unit and the size of the existing ductwork. For test out, we will require static pressure testing of the system with the new unit in place.
