Special Alert: AHRI Changes and Alliant Energy Cash Reward Claims
Recently the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) made a significant change to its equipment database in July 2009 – removing many coil-blower combinations from the equipment list. As you may know, Alliant Energy utilizes the AHRI database as a reference for processing cash reward claims.
For Alliant Energy customers or dealers that have installed new equipment with a mix-match coil-blower: until further notice our claims processors are using the AHRI equipment list that existed prior to the update. If your equipment is on the old list and purchased by December 31, 2009, we will honor your reward claim. Throughout the remainder of 2009, IPL will add new equipment to the old list as needed.
If you have any questions, please call the Energy Efficiency Hotline at 1-866-ALLIANT (1-866-255-4268).

If it's time to install a new heating or cooling unit in your home, it makes sense to invest in an energy-saving system. It also makes sense to ask your dealer about Alliant Energy-Interstate Power & Light's cash-back rewards on high-efficiency products.
