CPS Energy Rebates
DID YOU KNOW?
CPS Energy offers a variety of energy rebates to home owners.
Replace one of your current electric appliances with a more efficient (Energy Star-rated) appliance and it’s possible to receive a rebate on your power bill.
- Washers: When you purchase and install a high-efficiency washing machine, you can pick up a $75 rebate from CPS Energy and a $100 rebate on your SAWS or BexarMet bill.
- Refrigerators: if you replace the old unit with a new ENERGY STAR® model, CPS will give a $65-rebate.
- CPS Energy is offering a $100 rebate on any make or model of Gas Clothes Dryers, a $50 rebate on Gas Water Heaters – any size, make, model, both tank and tank-less – and a $50 rebate on either a Gas Cooktop or Gas Stove.
- Air conditioners: Rebates for central air conditioning systems and central heat pump systems are determined by the overall seasonal energy efficiency ratio, or SEER. Central units that qualify for a CPS Energy rebate must have a SEER rating of 15.0 or greater.
