When Arizona summers push your cooling systems to the limit, the costs can quickly add up. Thankfully, the Efficiency Arizona program, funded by $153 million from the Inflation Reduction Act, is here to help low- and middle-income homeowners save money on air conditioning repairs, replacements, and other energy efficiency upgrades.
This initiative could cover up to 100% of costs for eligible families, providing a lifeline for those with outdated or broken systems. Let’s break down how this program works, who qualifies, and how JDL Refrigeration can help you take advantage of these rebates.
What’s in It for You?
The Efficiency Arizona program makes energy efficiency upgrades affordable by providing significant rebates, helping you:
Who Qualifies for the Rebate?
Eligibility Requirements
| Income Level | Rebate Coverage |
| Below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) | Up to 100% of costs |
| 80%-150% of AMI | Up to 50% of costs |
Eligibility prioritizes households with lower incomes. Middle-income families will soon have access to additional rebates for various energy-efficient upgrades like electric stoves, insulation, and heat pumps.
Why Consider Heat Pumps?
Heat pumps do more than cool your home—they provide efficient, year-round comfort while saving energy. Here’s how they compare to traditional AC systems in efficiency, savings, and environmental impact. Check out the table below for a detailed breakdown!
Quick Fact: In Maricopa County last year, nearly 25% of heat-related deaths indoors were linked to malfunctioning AC systems. Reliable systems like heat pumps can prevent such tragedies while keeping your home comfortable.
