A Homeowner-Focused HVAC Resource
Replacing a heating and cooling system is one of the larger investments a homeowner makes. Rebates, tax credits, and heat pump incentives can shift the math significantly — but only when the underlying system is sized and designed correctly.
Mechanical Advantage is building this library to help homeowners research before they commit: how rebate programs work, how heat pumps compare to traditional equipment, how energy efficiency is measured, and why Manual J load calculations and Manual D duct design still matter regardless of which incentives are available.
The page will continue to expand as new state hubs, utility program guides, and educational resources are published.
