HVAC Rebate Program

Are you considering replacing your Heating, Venting, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system? 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 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 installed after January 1, 2009.

Steps to Your Rebate

• • After your unit is installed, call PEC’s Conservation Section at (512) 219-2613 or 1-888-554-4732, Extension 5016.
• • Upon receiving your call, your account and contact information will be verified and forwarded to a PEC representative.
• • We will contact you to schedule an appointment at the location of the installed unit.
• • A PEC representative will go to the location and visually inspect the unit. A rebate check will be issued if the unit meets equipment standards.
• Equipment Standards
• • HVAC efficiency requirements are a minimum SEER of 14, as rated by the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ACRI).
• • If the heating source is a heat pump system, a minimum Heating Seasonal Performance Factor of 6.8 is required.

Guidelines

• • New construction installations are not eligible for this program.
• • HVAC contractors are required to indicate the unit’s SEER on aninvoice provided for the member.
• • Rebate forms will not be accepted from dealers; only members in the PEC service area are eligible.
• • Both indoor and outdoor units must be replaced on the same installation date to be eligible for rebates. The replacement of those systems must include the outside condensing unit, indoor evaporator coil, fan section, and heating system (except those with a gas furnace). Partial replacement systems will not be eligible for rebates.
• • Central A/C systems with electric furnaces are not eligible for rebates.
• • Window units are not eligible for rebates.
• • Those units not listed in the ACRI directory will require an engineering certificate to verify the SEER rating. This includes units that have one brand of condenser unit with another brand of evaporator coil.
