The greater Phoenix area is well known for many things, including nearly 300 days of sunshine on average, upscale resorts, outstanding hiking trails in the Sonoran Desert, and beautiful golf courses. We’re also known for relentless heat starting in May, impacting monthly energy bills. Fortunately, APS and SRP both offer several cost-saving rebates and discounts to help reduce energy use and save you money. Let’s take a look at the available HVAC rebates from the two energy providers in Phoenix Metro.

APS

If you’re an APS customer, you may qualify for a $200 rebate when you replace your outdated or broken air conditioner with a new one installed by a participating contractor. Cool Blew is an APS qualified contractor. To qualify for the $200 rebate, Cool Blew can submit the rebate form on your behalf when the AC unit is:

  • Replaced with a new, energy efficient AC unit with a minimum SEER of 15.
  • Installed by a participating contractor (Cool Blew) in accordance with the APS Quality Installation Standards.

SRP

If your old AC unit, heat pump, or mini-split system needs to be upgraded, the SRP Cool Cash Rebate offers an air conditioning unit rebate of up to $1,125 on a new energy efficient AC. Cool Blew is a qualified SRP contractor and can help you determine the best qualifying equipment that meets or exceeds efficiency minimum standards.
