Western citrus leaders anxious to learn from Texas HLB
MaryLou Polek of the California Citrus Research Board concurs with other Western citrus leaders: It is a matter of when ? not if ? citrus greening disease is found in California and Arizona. <div class="field-image-promo"> <a href="/orchard-crops/western-citrus-leaders-anxious-learn-texas-hlb" class="imagecache imagecache-med_crop imagecache-linked imagecache-med_crop_linked"><img src="http://westernfarmpress.com/site-files/westernfarmpress.com/files/imagecache/med_crop/uploads/2012/02/citrus-psyllid-check.jpg" alt="" title="" class="imagecache imagecache-med_crop" width="355" height="200" /></a> </div> <div class="og_rss_groups"></div><p><a href="http://westernfarmpress.com/orchard-crops/western-citrus-leaders-anxious-learn-texas-hlb" target="_blank">read more</a></p>

qualify for this tax credit and only a select few make you eligible. And those specific models are obviously more expensive than the regular models. The tax credit you get for using these energy efficient air conditioners can be anything up to $300. Add to that the fact that you will save about $10 every month which will add up to $120 in a year. So, you would be able to save about $420 annually which is not a meager amount. Any homeowner would be made to think with such an amount involved.

It should be realized that not all air conditioners are eligible for this credit and there are a few standards that a unit has to fulfill for you to be qualified for the tax credit. Some of these standards include:

-The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) has to be anything equal or higher than 13 though for some states it is relaxed to 12.5
-The unit needs to be installed by a certified technician.
-The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) has to be 15.

While the SEER rating is to monitor the performance of the air conditioner over the year, the EER takes stock of the air conditioners capacity to remain energy efficient even on a very hot day. For central air conditioners there is a different set of norms and standards that have been decided and quantified by the Consortium of Energy Efficiency (CEE). The regulations vary slightly from state to state.
