Connecticut Clean Heating and Cooling Calculator

• Annual emission savings – The difference between your home heating system’s current greenhouse gas emissions and the emissions associated with the Clean Heating and Cooling technology you select. 

• Annual energy cost savings – The difference between the energy cost of using your current system and the energy cost of using the Clean Heating and Cooling technology you select. (A negative value – in parentheses – means that you are not expected to realize any financial savings by switching to Clean Heating and Cooling.) 

• Estimated cost of purchasing and installing Clean Heating and Cooling – The cost of equipment and labor to install the system you select. This is expressed as an estimated range, because many variables can affect cost, such as the extent of your home’s insulation and the home’s layout. 

The calculator’s cost estimates incorporate available federal and state financial incentives. Information about federal energy efficiency tax credits is available on the Energy Star website. Information about state incentives is available on the EnergizeCT website.  

The calculator provides a summary report. You can save it for your records and then, if you wish, use the tool again to explore how changing some of the variables changes the results. For example, how will the estimated savings change if you make weatherization improvements or if the price of fuel increases? 

The Clean Heating and Cooling Calculator was developed through a collaboration among the Clean Energy States Alliance, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, the Connecticut Green Bank, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the New Jersey Board General of Public Utilities, Eversource Energy, and Avangrid. The research and analysis for the calculator was carried out by VEIC. ROI Selling designed the web interface. 

Funding for the Connecticut version of the Clean Heating and Cooling Calculator was provided in part by Connecticut DEEP with support from the U.S. Department of Energy's State Energy Program under grant EE0008645. 

The calculator is designed to give users an initial estimate of the potential cost savings and greenhouse gas emission savings of installing a Clean Heating and Cooling system. Actual savings will be determined by the specific design of the system, specific features of the home, residents’ energy use behaviors, and other variables. 

We do not guarantee that a specific CH&C installation will achieve the savings the calculator estimates. Users should not rely on this tool alone when making purchase decisions. 

This calculator is informational and educational only and does not constitute technical advice. We strongly recommend that you seek the advice of a professional before making any purchase decision. The calculator provides an initial estimate of potential cost and greenhouse gas emissions savings. The results are hypothetical and may not reflect the actual savings and costs of your own specific situation, which may vary due to a variety of inputs, such as building square footage and configuration, current heating load, current heating system size and efficiency, location, climate zone, and incentives. The Clean Energy States Alliance, Connecticut Green Bank, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, Avangrid, Eversource, and their affiliates are not responsible for the consequences of any decisions or actions taken in reliance upon or because of the information provided by these tools.
