HVAC Incentive

Unlock a $1,500 incentive for your new home’s biggest energy user

See what qualifies

Get up to $1,500 per HVAC unit when you build new homes with efficiency in mind.

The heating and air system will be your customers' #1 energy user, accounting for more than 40% of their annual energy costs. Set them up for money-saving success by installing high-efficiency systems in the homes you build — and earn an incentive up to $1,500 per unit when you do!

*Rebates are now available through the EnergyRight® Residential Services program brought to you by EPB and TVA. Rebates are available on qualifying measures installed by a member of our Quality Contractor Network (QCN). Beginning October 1, 2023, QCN members must initiate your rebate claim within 30 days of completing your project by submitting qualifying measures on your behalf to TVA.

Higher efficiency means lower costs

For the highest energy efficiency and best rebates, it’s important to choose an HVAC system with a minimum of 14.2 SEER2 efficiency rating. As you’ll see below, the higher the SEER2 rating, the less energy the system needs to keep your home comfortable – and the greater the annual energy cost savings.

These figures represent the expected overall performance and operating costs of a 3-ton HVAC unit at $.11 per kilowatt hour, based on average weather and location for one year. Operating costs vary depending on climate conditions, home characteristics, energy rates, and usage patterns. Savings not guaranteed.
