The federal minimum efficiency for heat pumps is 15 SEER2 in the southern region and 14.3 SEER2 in the northern region as of January 2023. Systems rated 17 to 21 SEER2 deliver significantly lower monthly cooling costs and typically qualify for utility rebates in MI as well as the federal energy tax credit of up to $2,000 per year. The payback period for upgrading from a 15 to a 20 SEER2 system is typically 5 to 8 years in Grosse Pointe Farms depending on your usage and electricity rates. KIC Refrigeration calculates projected energy savings for each efficiency tier so you can make an informed decision based on real numbers rather than guesswork.
Yes. KIC Refrigeration handles all mechanical and electrical permits required for heat pump installation in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI. We prepare and submit the permit application, schedule the inspection with the local building department, and ensure the installation passes all applicable code requirements. A building permit is required by law for HVAC equipment replacement in most jurisdictions, and it protects you as the homeowner — an unpermitted installation can void the manufacturer warranty, create problems when selling the home, and may not be covered by homeowner insurance if a failure causes property damage. KIC Refrigeration includes permitting in every installation proposal.
