Energize Phoenix, get on Board!
As utility costs climb and you look for ways to lower your bills, consider energy-efficiency upgrades – upgrades that could cost you zero! Now through the end of October, residents within a 10-mile stretch of the light rail line can take advantage of a rebate offer to get a free home energy check-up worth $99.00.
Energize Phoenix is offering free home energy check-ups for owner-occupied single-family detached homes within the Energize Phoenix program boundaries, from 40th Street and Washington Street to Central Avenue and Camelback Road. See program details below for how to apply and receive your $99 rebate.
If the energy check-up shows you could save money through efficiency upgrades, you can take advantage of one of two Energize Phoenix residential programs: Residential Match and 60/40.
Both programs leverage existing APS rebate programs such as Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®, Solar and Renewable Energy, Duct Test and Repair and Residential AC Rebate Program.
The Residential Match program provides a matching rebate for energy efficiency projects including:
- heating and cooling system upgrades
