The numbers behind your cooling rebates
The Home Energy Solutions audit copay -- free if you qualify as income-eligible. This 2-4 hour assessment is what unlocks the largest cooling and heat pump rebates.
On average, families receive about $1,000 in weatherization services during the visit — and once those upgrades are in place, your home typically saves $70–$100 on annual energy bills, not counting rebates on equipment that comes next.
Families who complete the audit walk away with about $1,000 in on-the-spot services, $70–$100 in annual bill savings, and eligibility for equipment rebates that don't come without it. The audit is the unlock — rebates and upgrades follow.
Choosing well
How to judge a cooling system before you buy one
The right size beats the biggest unit every time
Bigger is not better with air conditioning. Our specialists size every system to your home's square footage, layout, and ductwork before recommending equipment — because both oversized and undersized systems create comfort problems and waste energy.
- Oversized AC cools quickly but shuts off before wringing humidity out of the air
- Undersized units run nonstop without ever quite catching up on the hottest days
- SEER and COP ratings matter: higher numbers mean lower bills every summer the system runs
We diagnose first — repair, maintain, or replace in that order
Most AC units last 10 to 15 years. Unusual noises, warm air at the vents, or water pooling usually point to a repair; bi-annual maintenance catches small problems early and keeps a healthy system efficient — we recommend a new system only when it genuinely pays.
- Frequent repairs or energy-bill spikes signal a replacement conversation
- Units still running phased-out R-22 refrigerant face rising recharge costs
- You get an honest recommendation, not a sales pitch for equipment you don't need
