The following guidelines must be met before a CPS Energy rebate can be approved and processed:
Any reduction in HVAC/Heating usage will be paid based on the current HVAC 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 current HVAC 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.”
Rebates are also available for geothermal heat pump units. The amount of the rebate will be $400/ton. There is no minimal tonnage requirement. When applying for the rebate, use the “custom” designation for the type of rebate on the application.
