Important Note To Our Black-Haak
Family of Clients,

On February 17, 2009 President Obama signed H.R. 1, it’s called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In this act the tax credits for investing in high efficient heating and cooling increased greatly!

• Furnaces of 95% efficiency can qualify for a tax credit of 30% of the cost of the furnace (with a cap of $1500)
• With GEO Thermal heating, a tax credit of 30% applies to both new construction and retro-fitting (with no cap)
• Air Conditioners need an efficiency rating of 16 SEER to qualify (with a cap of $1500)
• Air to Air Heat Pumps need an efficiency rating of 8.5 HPSF, 12.5 EER or 15 SEER to qualify (with a cap of $1500)

This is a great time to upgrade! There are many variables to these tax credits so please contact us directly to find out how we can help you!

Our new Dodge Sprinter utility vehicle will help us continue to bring you efficient, reliable service. This new truck runs on a diesel engine that provides longer vehicle life and better gas mileage.

Black-Haak acquires new plasma duct-cutting table

Our new plasma duct cutting table will allow us to 'cut' ductwork production time by nearly 3/4! This machine will layout our ductwork by computer and cut it out automatically.

We enter the sizes and shapes we need directly into the computer. The table then groups the various fittings onto sheets and lays the fittings out in such a way as to minimize excess waste.
