What does that mean to you?

Pearl Certification means any improvements we make to your home are documented and certified. You enjoy lower operating costs because your home operates more efficiently-and you add value to your home when you are ready to sell it.

Pearl Helps You Save Money

When it fully rolls out in mid-2023 or 2024, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers homeowners across the country billions of dollars in incentives for high-efficiency upgrades. That includes thousands of dollars in rebates and tax credits for heat pumps, furnaces, air conditioners, and other equipment that meets ENERGY STAR® standards.

Midwest Heating & Cooling provides you with independent, third-party certification to document any improvements you make to your home, helping you qualify for federal rebates and tax credits.

How Does Pearl Certification Work?

Pearl Certification is a scoring system to determine how well your home keeps you comfortable while saving energy. The more efficient a feature is in your home, the more points you earn. Here are some key areas to consider:

Heating and cooling equipment

Walls, windows, roof, insulation, and foundation

Plumbing equipment, water heaters, and fixtures

Electronics, wiring, and fixtures

Smart thermostats and other energy-management tools

High-quality installations score better because poor craftsmanship leads to improperly sized equipment, air leaks, rattling noises, and other issues.

Heat pumps and air conditioning units with high-efficiency SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) ratings score more points than older systems with lower efficiency ratings.

How well do your appliances interact with your local climate? A high-efficiency air conditioner in Arizona is worth more points than a high-efficiency furnace. In a cold-weather state like Vermont, it's just the opposite.

Need a contractor you can trust? Go with a company that is part of the Pearl network.
