Find Energy and HVAC Savings with New Rebates Up to $18,000

August 12, 2025

Unlock Over $18,000 in Savings:

A Homeowner’s Guide to Arizona’s New HVAC & Energy Rebate Programs

Another scorching August is upon us. As temperatures hang out in the triple digits, homeowners across the Valley are navigating through their electricity bills. For many, a powerful and efficient air conditioning system isn’t a luxury; it’s a critical component of a safe and comfortable home. But what if you could upgrade to a state-of-the-art, energy-saving HVAC system—and make other crucial home performance improvements—for a fraction of the expected cost?

Thanks to landmark programs funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, that possibility is now a reality. Arizona has been allocated over $153,000,000 in program funds to be distributed directly to homeowners through substantial rebates. This opportunity is a game-changing way to enhance your comfort, drastically lower your monthly bills, and increase your home’s value.

Reeis Air Conditioning believes every Arizona family deserves to be comfortable without breaking the bank. They have been at the forefront of these developments since they were first announced. Back in August of 2022, owner Todd Russo was featured on local programs discussing the future of these rebates. After two years of planning, the programs are finally here, and the savings are bigger than we ever imagined.

As one of the few contractors in Arizona approved to work under the new program guidelines, their mission is to guide homeowners through the process. This process isn’t just about a single rebate; it’s about strategically stacking multiple offers to significantly reduce—or, in some cases, almost completely cover—the cost of a brand-new, high-performance home comfort system.

Your Guide to the Two New Arizona Rebate Programs

The Arizona Office of Resiliency has structured the funding into two distinct programs: the HEAR program, which is live right now, and the HOMES program, scheduled to launch later this year.

1. The HEAR Program (Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates) – AVAILABLE NOW!

The HEAR program is an income-contingent rebate program designed to help homeowners purchase new, energy-efficient electric appliances and systems. The rebates are substantial and cover a wide range of improvements. Qualified homeowners can receive rebates up to the following amounts:

$8,000 for a new high-efficiency heat pump (for heating and cooling)
$4,000 for an electric load service center (panel) upgrade
$2,500 for new electric wiring
$1,750 for a new heat pump water heater
$1,600 for insulation, air sealing, and ventilation improvements
$840 for an electric stove, cooktop, range, oven, or heat pump clothes dryer

How to Qualify for HEAR Rebates:

You could save up to $18,000 on your new HVAC unit purchase

Qualification is based on your household’s annual income relative to the Area Median Income (AMI).

Up to 100% of Costs Covered: If your family’s annual income is less than 80% of the AMI, these rebates can cover the entire cost of your project, up to a $14,000 total cap.
Up to 50% of Costs Covered: If your family’s annual income is between 80% and 150% of the AMI, you can have 50% of your project cost covered by rebates, up to the $14,000 cap.

In the Phoenix Metro Area, this means a family could have an annual income between $117,850 and $222,200 (depending on household size) and still qualify for thousands of dollars in savings. The program has specific guidelines and requires working with a state-approved, qualified contractor like Reeis to ensure all work meets program standards.

2. The HOMES Program (Home Efficiency Rebate Program) – Tentatively Scheduled for Late 2025

The second program, set to launch this fall, is the HOMES program. This initiative focuses on performance-based rebates. Instead of a fixed amount per appliance, the rebate amount is determined by the total energy savings your retrofit project achieves. It’s a comprehensive approach that rewards homeowners for making their entire home more efficient.

The maximum rebate available under the HOMES program is $8,000 per home. The program guidelines are still being finalized, but it will involve a detailed home energy analysis to create a custom retrofit plan that maximizes your energy savings and, therefore, your rebate.

Stacking Your Savings: Beyond the State Rebates

The $14,000 from the HEAR program is just the beginning. As a homeowner, you can stack these state rebates with existing federal tax credits and local utility rebates to achieve truly astonishing savings.

These additional, stackable incentives include:

Federal Heat Pump Tax Credit (25C): Up to $2,000
Federal Energy Efficiency Tax Credit (25C): Up to $1,200 for insulation and other improvements.
APS/SRP Utility Rebates: Up to $1,000 for HVAC system replacement.
APS/SRP Duct Sealing Rebates: Up to $1,000
APS/SRP Insulation Rebates: Up to $600

When you add it all up, the potential savings are staggering.

Todd explains, “Since 2009, Reeis has helped homeowners maximize financial incentives for programs like these. We’ve built a system to manage every step of the process. It starts with an initial, no-obligation free consultation to determine if you and your home qualify. From there, they manage the entire process for you, getting you the maximum incentive for qualified improvements. In 16 years of managing these programs, this is the single largest incentive program Todd has ever seen. Many homeowners will receive total rebates and tax credits of more than $18,000.”

Don’t Wait—These Funds Are Limited!

An allocation of $153,000,000 sounds like a lot, but these funds are finite and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the money is claimed, the program will end. With the HEAR program already live, savvy homeowners are acting now to secure their share of the savings.
