Rebates

HVAC systems use nearly 50 percent of a home’s energy consumption, directly affecting your electric bill. When purchasing a new HVAC system, discuss the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) with your installation contractor or Pedernales Electric representative. The SEER helps you calculate the annual cooling and heating costs of a particular system. Much like a vehicle’s miles per gallon, the higher the SEER, or miles-per-gallon rating, the less expensive it is to operate that HVAC system or vehicle. PEC’s HVAC Rebate Program offers rebates for retrofit systems.

PEC’s HVAC Rebate Program

Steps to Your Rebate

• After the HVAC system is installed, the participant can download the HVAC Rebate Program Manual information sheet and complete an online rebate application. Participants may also call PEC to request a copy of the documents.
• You must provide a copy of the AHRI certificate and the invoice with your rebate application. Ask your HVAC contractor to provide these documents.
• You may e-mail, fax or mail the documents as indicated on the application.
• Upon receiving your documents, a PEC representative will verify and process your rebate request.
  Rebate requests will not be processed without the required documents.

Rebate Levels

The current PEC residential central A/C and heat pump rebate levels are as follows:

Equipment Standards

Applications that were received within a given calendar year and meet that year’s Residential HVAC Rebate Program installation requirements will be paid under that calendar year’s rebate structure. For example, completed applications that are received after December 31 for installations completed during the previous calendar year will be paid under the rebate structure of the following program year.

An eligible participant may apply to receive incentives for the replacement of multiple HVAC units at a single site. A residential site may not receive more than $2,500 in rebates within a single calendar year. All rebate incentives are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and are only available while funds last. Rebate levels are subject to change at any time without prior notice.
