I don't have air conditioning at present. So, switching from gas furnace to electric air pump means I don't qualify for your rebate -- there will be no reduction in electricity usage. Further, a federal eco-energy audit and follow-up audit would cost me $400, the same as the federal grant, so that doesn't seem worthwhile either. Are there any rebates or incentive programs for me?

Are there any rebates or incentive programs for me?
