CenterPoint Energy A/C Distributor Program

Note:  This incentive is only available to customers within CenterPoint Energy’s electric service territory (greater Houston area, Texas)

The A/C Distributor Program provides incentives to air-conditioning distributors who agree to facilitate the installation of high-efficiency air-conditioners and heat pumps in single-family homes, multi-family homes, and small commercial businesses within CenterPoint Energy’s electric service territory. The primary purpose of this program is to reduce CenterPoint Energy customers’ demand and energy consumption while reducing the utility’s annual load growth in demand.

The program will accept qualifying 1.5 to 5 ton systems installed in residential and small commercial replacement
applications within the CenterPoint Energy electric service territory; new construction applications do not qualify. The program will require AHRI-matched residential and small commercial systems that meet or exceed guidelines of A/C systems: minimum 16 SEER/12 EER, 1.5 to 5 tons; Heat pump systems: minimum 16 SEER/12 EER/8.6 HSPF, 1.5 to 5 tons.

Eligible participants include HVAC distributors who install air conditioning equipment within CenterPoint Energy’s electric service territory. Equipment must not receive incentives from any other  CenterPoint Energy energy efficiency program and units installed in new or existing residential single-family or multi-family dwellings, or in small commercial sites, are eligible.
