Member Rebate Programs

Pedernales Electric offers a variety of rebates for our residential and commercial members, and there are several other incentive programs for which PEC members may qualify.

HVAC Rebate Program

PLEASE NOTE: Rebate requests processed after Dec. 31, 2011 will receive a bill credit toward the PEC account entered on the HVAC Rebate Application form.

Are you considering replacing your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system? When purchasing a new HVAC system, discuss the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) with your installation contractor or Pedernales Electric representative. The SEER helps you calculate the annual cooling costs of a particular system. Much like a vehicle’s miles per gallon, the higher the SEER or miles-per-gallon rating, the less expensive it is to operate that HVAC system or vehicle. PEC’s HVAC Rebate Program offers rebates for retrofit systems installed after Jan. 1, 2012.


Available HVAC Rebates

Steps to Your Rebate

  • After your unit is installed, download the HVAC Program Information sheet and complete an HVAC Rebate Program Application or call PEC to request a copy of the documents.
  • You must provide a copy of an Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) certificate and the invoice with your rebate application. Ask your HVAC contractor to provide these documents.
  • You may e-mail, fax or mail the documents as indicated on the application.
  • Upon receiving your documents, a PEC representative will verify and process your rebate request.

Rebate requests will not be processed without the required documents.

Rebates

A PEC account bill credit will be processed after verification. Bill credits should be processed within three to five weeks. The rebate structure is outlined below.

Tier SEER EER A/C with
Gas Furnace
Heat Pump
1 15.0 12.5 $300 $400
2 16.0 13.0 $350 $450
3 17.0 and above 13.5 $400 $500

Dual-fuel heat pumps are paid at the heat pump rate.

Rebates for ground- or water-source heat pumps are $1,000.

Systems that were installed in 2011 and meet that year's HVAC Rebate Program equipment standards and guidelines will be paid under that rebate structure. Applications for 2011 installations will be accepted through Feb. 29, 2012.

Equipment Standards

  • HVAC efficiency requirements are a minimum SEER of 15 and a minimum EER of 12.5, as rated by the AHRI.
  • If the heating source is a heat-pump system, a minimum Heating Seasonal Performance Factor of 7.0 is required.

Guidelines

  • New-construction installations are not eligible for this program.
  • Rebate forms will not be accepted from dealers; only members in the PEC service area are eligible.
  • Both indoor and outdoor units must be replaced on the same installation date to be eligible for rebates. The replacement of those systems must include the outside condensing unit, indoor evaporator coil, fan section and heating system (except those with a gas furnace). Partial replacement systems are not eligible for rebates.
  • Central A/C systems with electric furnaces are not eligible for rebates.
  • Window units are not eligible for rebates.
  • Those units not listed in the AHRI directory will require an engineering certificate to verify the SEER rating. This includes units that have one brand of condenser unit with another brand of evaporator coil.

Please note, PEC's HVAC Rebate Program is subject to change without prior notice.

Commercial Lighting Rebate Program

Lighting accounts for more than 40 percent of commercial-sector electricity consumption in the United States. Updating your business’s lighting is a great way to start reducing overhead costs.

PEC can help. Our Commercial Lighting Rebate Program offers incentives to help members install efficient lighting in existing commercial buildings and new commercial construction. Rebate amounts are based on kilowatts (kw) of reduced electricity. You could qualify for rebates of $150 per kw reduced for new construction or $300 per kw reduced for existing buildings.

The program offers rebates to commercial members who purchase electricity from PEC for lighting installed at facilities within PEC’s service area. Download the application to get started.

Available Commercial Lighting Rebates

The commercial lighting rebate structure is outlined in the table below. Rebate payments will be mailed within 10 working days of the final inspection.

  New Construction Existing Buildings
Kilowatts Saved Rebate per kw Saved Rebate per kw Saved
20-29 $75 $150
30-39 $100 $200
40-49 $125 $250
50 or more $150 $300

How to Get Your Rebate

  • Submit a Commercial Lighting Rebate Program Application. Applications are available on our website, at any PEC office or via fax.
  • After you receive the application, a Pedernales Electric representative will meet with you to review the information you submitted and conduct a preliminary survey to estimate the kilowatt (kw) reduction on the project.
  • If the preliminary survey determines the project will result in a 20 kw or more reduction, you will be eligible to participate in the program.
  • After lighting is installed, PEC will perform a final inspection. During this inspection, the representative will complete the Summary for Rebate to verify the lighting systems installed and determine the actual kw reduction and rebate amount.

Guidelines

  • Pedernales Electric’s Commercial Lighting Rebate Program offers rebates to commercial members who purchase electricity from PEC for lighting installed at facilities within our service area.
  • A lighting installation must reduce demand by at least 20 kw to qualify. Members must provide all information requested on the program’s required forms.
  • A member must receive preliminary approval from Pedernales Electric. PEC will review all forms for eligibility, completeness and accuracy.
  • Pedernales Electric will identify any specific calculations that do not meet program guidelines. PEC reserves the right to refuse unreasonable estimates.
  • Equipment installation must be made within one year of the preliminary approval date. The applicant must request changes to the time limit in writing, and PEC must agree to them. Failure to meet approved deadlines may result in denial of the rebate.
  • Pedernales Electric is not responsible for any taxes that may be imposed on the member as a result of projects installed under this program.
  • If disputes arise regarding member eligibility, energy-saving potential of proposed projects, amounts of rebates or other issues, members may submit data in support of their position. PEC, however, will make the final determination on these issues.
  • Pedernales Electric reserves the right to change or terminate this program at any time but will honor all projects with an approved preliminary survey form, provided that project installations are completed within the time specified.
