If a name discrepancy is explained in a response from the partner, what do you do?
Populate the premise with CIS data & refresh screen in location tab to check for duplicates.
If the partner does not upload an AHRI for the equipment installed, do you flaw?
NO, you go to the directory and locate the AHRI and upload as supporting documentation.
The PO is requesting 24 LED bulbs. Is this a flaw?
No! They can claim up to 25 bulbs per type.
The invoice and OIT says the thermostat manufacturer and model are Emerson 1F86U-42WF, but the thermostat classification list says White Rodgers 1F86U-42WF. Is this a flaw?
No. White Rodgers and Emerson are the same company (Emerson is the parent company of white Rodgers).
If the applicant is applying for a whole system combo, but the furnace installed does not match the model number of the furnace on the A/C AHRI, what do you do?
Try to find the correct AHRI through the AHRI directory and if you can’t, you send it to Flaw Letter Review.
If the first names in CIS and OIT are different, but the last names are the same, is that a flaw?
No. If they have the same last name, we assume the relationship.
What external documents/information are required for HVAC equipment?
1. Permit application or permit number
2. CoC
3. Invoice with Model and serial numbers
4. Before and after pictures
5. An AHRI
For an EEA app, there are measures on the invoice that are not in OIT. Should this be flawed?
No! the partner may be getting that funding from elsewhere or may be claiming at a different time.
What is the lowest qualifying SEER2 value for an a/c system?
14.3
If the cooling capacity is 28500, what is the tonnage?
2.25 to 2.5. Per the manual, you should divide the cooling capacity on the AHRI by 12,000 to get the tonnage if it is missing in OIT.
When searching for duplicates in the location tab, what are the things to look out for?
1. Equipment tab to double check all measures
2. The documents to be sure they are all for the same contractor.
If the permit number is already entered into OIT, but the number is not on the invoice and no permit application was provided, is this a flaw?
No! Sometimes the PO will provide the permit number for us when they enter the measure into OIT.
If an EOPT screenshot is provided for a non-valid account, what should you put in front of the premise ID?
Nothing! You only put NV in front of the account number.
When do you add an assessment bonus or assessment referral bonus, and what is the difference?
When an assessment from SEEL is uploaded that is the only referral bonus, the rest of the assessments are the Assessment bonus.
If only a SEER value (not SEER 2) is listed as 16 on the AHRI, what would be an appropriate SEER 2 Value to use?
Anywhere from 15.20-15.99. You have to use the SEER conversion chart.
When doing a CIS address search, you discover the premise has one account for electric and one account for gas, but the account numbers are different. What should you do?
Make sure the forms tab reflects both accounts in the appropriate places.
The Premise’s name is Rosie Henderson. The first page of the CoC says the account holder is Anabelle King. The initials on the second and third pages are AK. The signature on the second page is “Rosie Henderson”. Should this be flawed?
No. As long as the CoC has a signature from the premise, it is good to process!
