Refrigerated Cooling

Texas Residential Energy Rebate

Improve Comfort. Save Energy.

Did you know that heating and cooling account for the majority of your monthly energy bill? If your household doesn’t have a high efficiency matched refrigerated air-conditioning system, the Income Qualified Refrigerated Cooling Rebate can help you reduce your energy bills by installing a high-efficiency Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) matched refrigerated air conditioning system.

The Knowledge You Need.

Available only to residential customers in El Paso Electric’s Texas service area.

 

Rebates are available to customers or contractors that install AHRI qualified matched systems that meet the minimum energy efficiency ratings specified below. Incentives vary depending on the type of system and efficiency of the unit installed. Only AHRI qualified matched systems that meet the energy efficiency ratings in the table below are eligible (http://www.ahridirectory.org).

  • Refrigerated Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps MUST be purchased and installed in the current program year.
  • AHRI reference numbers must match on indoor and outdoor units.
  • Installed systems must have a capacity of less than 65,000 BTUHr (5.4 tons).
