Efficient Furnace Fan Program
$200 rebate with your new oil, gas or propane heating system.

You’ve made a decision to replace your old furnace with a new, high-efficiency furnace. This decision will not only save you energy dollars, but reflects your commitment to lowering your carbon footprint and preserving the environment.

Cold Long Island winters make a high efficiency furnace a good investment.  Why not improve that investment even further with an electronically commutated motor (ECM).

Electronically Commutated Motor

An ECM, sometimes referred to as a Brushless Magnet Motor, is an energy-efficient motor which can adjust its speed to ensure the best possible performance of your furnace. In addition, ECM motors are significantly quieter and less expensive to operate than conventional furnace motors.

Because of its adjustable speed design, an ECM motor operates with as little as 80 watts of electricity. That’s less than a standard light bulb and as much as ten times less than standard motors.

A Cool Homes participating contractor can help you select a new furnace for your home.

Why choose a furnace with an ECM?
