HVAC Equipment Rebates (Greater Than 5 Tons Total and All Three-Phase Units)
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems typically consume the largest portion of energy in a commercial or industrial facility. Using a more energy-efficient HVAC system in your operation can not only maintain a comfortable environment for building occupants but have a significant impact on your company's energy bill.
CPS Energy is offering rebates on the installation of high-efficiency HVAC, Package Terminal Air Conditioners, Packages Terminal Heat Pumps and Chillers.
Any reduction in HVAC/Heating usage will be paid based on the 2009 AC Rebate Matrix.
All rebate applications are subject to the general provisions including a site visit from CPS Energy personnel after completion of the project.
Customer must move to an air conditioning system with a minimum Step 1 efficiency listed in the 2009 AC Rebate Matrix.
The efficiency is based on the total system efficiency as verified by CPS Energy.
Rebates will be based on the nominal tonnage of the new system rounded to the nearest ½ ton (6,000 BTUH).
The rebate is based on the difference between the efficiency of the system installed and the minimum efficiency required.
The application must include performance specifications at ARI conditions, model numbers and serial numbers for all air conditioner units.
HVAC, Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTAC) and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps (PTHP) Eligible systems must be over 5 tons total or a three-phase unit, regardless of size.
Residential units can be installed to achieve a higher efficiency, but the total installed must be over 5 tons.
Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTAC) and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps (PTHP) are eligible, but the total installed must be over 5 tons.
Totals less than or equal to 5 tons will be covered under the CPS Energy Residential Air Conditioner Rebate Program.
No rebate is available when moving from a water-cooled chiller to an air-cooled chiller.
The $50,000 cap on rebate credits has been eliminated. The new cap will be “no more than 50% of the total project cost”. This change is retroactive to the beginning of the year.
