APS & SRP AC Rebates + Federal Tax Credits: Arizona 2026 Guide
Most homeowners we talk to have no idea these rebates exist until after they've already bought. APS, SRP, and the federal government all have money set aside for qualifying AC replacements, but the paperwork doesn't file itself, and not every contractor knows or bothers. We do this on every qualifying job. Here's what's available in 2026.
APS Rebates: Step by Step
APS offers rebates for qualifying high-efficiency systems, but there's a process, and the timing matters. You can't go back and claim a rebate on a system installed months ago. This is how it works:
SRP Rebates
Salt River Project customers have a similar program. SRP rebates require SEER 15+ equipment and a licensed contractor installation. The process mirrors APS and we submit on your behalf.
| SEER Rating | APS Rebate | SRP Rebate |
|---|---|---|
| SEER 15 | Not eligible | $200 |
| SEER 16 | $200–$300 | $250–$300 |
| SEER 17–18 | $300–$400 | $300–$350 |
| SEER 19+ | $400–$500 | $350–$400 |
Rebate amounts change annually. Verify current amounts at aps.com or srp.net. We confirm current rebate eligibility on every quote.
