Welcome to the website for Performance Tested Comfort Systems
Program Overview
Welcome to the PTCS website, designed to support contractors and utilities that
are commissioning heat pumps and testing and sealing duct systems based on the Performance
Tested Comfort Systems (PTCS™) standards.
The purpose of this website is to allow contractors and utilities to verify that
particular technicians are PTCS certified and to provide information that will help
technicians meet standards.
Reminder to PTCS Contractors:
Please be advised that the specifications for PTCS certified heat pump jobs are
changing. Current program specifications call for SEER and HSPF ratings of 14 &
8.5. Beginning October 1, 2011 all commissioned heat pumps will be required to
have a SEER of 14 and an HSPF of 9
in order to qualify for PTCS incentives.
If you are planning to commission and claim incentives for any heat pumps with an
HSPF of 8.5 please be sure they are installed and submitted to the PTCS program
no later than September 30th, 2011 in order to ensure
the customers are eligible for the full incentive.
Jobs receiving the controls and commissioning incentive for meeting federal minimum
requirements will not be affected.
Contractors Please Note: Incentive levels may change at
your local utility, please contact your utility program administrator for details.
