I'm a little surprised a 14 SEER qualifies for the credit.

Thanks for forcing me to look into this for my own knowledge..I pass along to others fyi.
Package units will. Split systems won't. Go figure...
This from the below link:
"
Split Systems: SEER >= 16 & EER >=13 (What is SEER/EER?)
Package systems: SEER >= 14 & EER >= 12 (What is Split vs. Package?)"
Important Note: It is likely that you will have to replace your furnace as well to get an air conditioner that qualifies.
