Did you know APS offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency HVAC systems and smart thermostats in Arizona? Sapper HVAC walks you through how to get your money back.

APS Rebates for HVAC in Arizona — How to Get Money Back on Your AC

If you're an Arizona Public Service (APS) customer in Phoenix, Chandler, Tempe, Glendale, Peoria, or the surrounding service territory, you may be eligible for significant rebates when you install a qualifying high-efficiency HVAC system, heat pump, or smart thermostat.

Current APS Rebate Programs for HVAC (Verify Current Amounts at aps.com)

Note: APS rebate amounts and program details change periodically. Always verify current amounts at aps.com or ask Sapper HVAC at time of installation.

Central Air Conditioning Rebates

APS offers rebates on qualifying central AC systems that meet minimum efficiency thresholds above the federal minimum. Rebate tiers are based on SEER2 rating:

  • Systems meeting the minimum qualifying efficiency threshold: rebate on the equipment
  • Higher-efficiency systems (18+ SEER2): larger rebate amounts
  • Variable-speed systems: often qualify for the highest rebate tier

Heat Pump Rebates

APS provides rebates on qualifying heat pump systems, including air-source heat pumps that replace existing gas or electric resistance heating.

Smart Thermostat Rebates

APS offers rebates on qualifying smart thermostats (Nest, Ecobee, and other approved models). This rebate is one of the easiest and fastest to capture — smart thermostat installation takes less than an hour.

Demand Response Program Bill Credits

APS offers bill credits to customers who allow brief, automated temperature adjustments during peak demand events (typically 4–8 PM on hot summer weekdays). Compatible smart thermostats can participate automatically.

How to Claim APS HVAC Rebates

  1. Verify eligibility: Confirm your address is in APS service territory (not SRP, TEP, or a municipal utility)
  2. Choose qualifying equipment: We help you select systems that meet APS rebate efficiency thresholds
  3. Keep documentation: Save your invoice, equipment model and serial numbers, and installation permit
  4. Submit the rebate: APS rebates are typically submitted online at aps.com within 90–180 days after installation
  5. Receive your rebate: APS issues rebates by check or bill credit, depending on the program
