The City of Austin Rebate Program

The City of Austin rebate program provides outstanding rebates for homeowners who have decided to install brand new, energy efficient air conditioners and heaters. ABA can provide your home with high quality HVAC systems from the top manufacturers in the industry, and you don’t need an energy audit to qualify for this rebate. You and your family are eligible for this rebate program if you own your own home, and your existing HVAC unit is 10 years old or older.

Replace Old Air Conditioners and Heaters

A lot of clients call us and ask why they need to replace old air conditioners and heaters. HVAC units which are older than 10 years of age were not designed to be as energy efficient as the models of today. Manufacturers put an emphasis on designing green air conditioners, heat pumps, and heaters which will keep your family comfortable while using less energy and providing you with lower energy costs each month.

Funding is limited and is only available to Austin residents on a first-come, first-serve basis. So, be sure to contact our air conditioner installation professionals at ABA as soon as possible! If you meet the eligibility requirements for the rebate program, we can send you information. Rebates may take up to 6 weeks to appear. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
