Frequently Asked Questions

When a customer moves, how is the loan transferred to the new home owner?

Two options. It can be paid off and wrapped into the buyer's home loan, this is not technically a transfer. Almost always, an official transfer occurs when the new homeowner assumes the remaining balance of the loan and picks up payments where the previous homeowner left off.

Do we install townhomes?

Yes, if they own their roof.

Do homeowners need home insurance?

Yes, even if the system is under 11.7 kw. Most homeowners in Florida have $250k-$300k, already due to Florida being a hurricane state.

A good rule of thumb:

$100k < 11.7 kw

$1,000,000 > 11.7 kw

Can customers claim multiple tax credits?

No. The customer has to file taxes out of the home to claim it for that house. Here's a good resource for all questions regarding the tax credit:

How can I make my installs smoother and faster?

Reference for calculating offsets from adders:

Variable Speed Pool Pump ($1,800) 15-22%

Blown-in Insulation ($1.25 per sq ft) 5%

LED and Smart Thermostat ($300) % calculated in Solo

Contingencies:

VSPP: Customer needs to run pool pump on a daily basis, and throughout the day, not just certain parts of the year or day.

Blow-in Insulation: Current insulation levels needs to be insufficient in order for this to be effective. If customer already has reasonable insulation levels this won't be as effective.

LED and Smart Thermostat: Customer cannot already have a smart learning termostat and at least 70% of the lights in the house cannot be LED.

How do I calculate offsets for adders?

Powerbill - the information we need is the account number and meter number so make sure to get a picture that shows that info.

HOA - if the customer doesn't have an HOA can they put NA so we know there isn't an HOA (include info on the contract if they are in an HOA)

Make sure the email address is real. We need this to fulfill the job. No none@none.com or na@na.com.

Insurance - Any jobs over 11.6 kw need to have $1 million in insurance coverage. Making sure customers know this before leaving the home will make things run a lot smoother.

How can I streamline and expedite my installation processes?

  1. Powerbill - Ensure that the picture obtained includes the account number and meter number for verification purposes.

  2. HOA - If the customer does not have a Homeowners Association (HOA), they can input "NA" to indicate its absence. Please include relevant contract information if the property is within an HOA.

  3. Valid Email Address - It is essential to provide a genuine email address for job fulfillment. Please refrain from using placeholders like "none@none.com" or "na@na.com

  4. Home Insurance - Jobs exceeding 11.6 kW require a minimum of $1 million in insurance coverage. Informing customers about this requirement before leaving the premises will facilitate smoother processes.

How can I determine the offsets required for adders?

Calculating offsets for adders:

For the Variable Speed Pool Pump ($1,800), the offset ranges from 15% to 22%.

For Blown-in Insulation ($1.25 per sq ft), the offset is fixed at 5%.

For LED and Smart Thermostat ($300), the percentage is calculated individually for each case.

For Hybrid Heat-pump Water Heaters ($300-$400) per year

Stipulations:

Variable Speed Pool Pump: Ensure the pump runs daily and consistently throughout the day, irrespective of season or time.

Blown-in Insulation: Effectiveness depends on the existing insulation levels; insufficient insulation is necessary for maximum effectiveness.

LED and Smart Thermostat: The customer must not already possess a smart learning thermostat, and at least 70% of the house lights must not be LED for the adder to apply.

Rheem's hybrid heat pump water heaters are designed to be incredibly efficient, often providing around 3 to 4 times more energy efficiency than a standard electric water heater.
