Summary:
Tucson Electric Power (TEC) offers rebate programs for their residential customers who install energy efficient equipment in their existing homes. The Efficient Home Cooling Program provides rebates for the purchase of qualifying high-efficiency air conditioners and heat pumps. The amount of the rebate depends on the efficiency (SEER) of equipment purchased. A rebate of $200 will be given for 14 SEER and a rebate of $250 will be given for equipment with a SEER rating of 15 or above. The new cooling equipment must be installed in an existing home; new homes are not eligible. TEP strongly recommends, but does not require, the purchase and installation of ENERGY STAR qualified equipment. Rebate applications must be submitted within 90 days of installation.

TEP has also partnered with local retailers and lighting manufacturers to offer the TEP Energy Star Lighting Program. Customers can receive discounted pricing on energy-efficient lighting at participating retailers listed on the program website. The discount amount depends on the type and wattage of the bulbs.
