High-efficiency Central A/C Rebate
Lower your bill and improve your comfort
Older central A/C units can be costly to operate and maintain. New units are more efficient and use less energy while lowering your electric bill. This rebate is designed to encourage the use of high-efficiency central A/Cs and heat pumps.
Annual energy savings for a 15-SEER or greater unit could be up to 30 percent when compared to a 12-SEER unit. Additionally, some super-efficient air conditioners and heat pumps are equipped with variable-speed compressor technology that allows equipment to operate at a lower capacity during moderate weather. This results in better humidity control and more efficient operation. When the weather is hot, they step up to full-speed operation.
