Efficiency Arizona: How to Save Big on Cooling Costs and Energy Efficiency Upgrades

November 7, 2024

By Mary Luzzi, Co-Owner of JDL Refrigeration

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This initiative could cover up to 100% of costs for eligible families, providing a lifeline for those with outdated or broken systems.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:

  • Cut Cooling Costs:

    Replace outdated AC systems with efficient heat pumps and lower your energy bills by hundreds annually.

  • Ensure Home Comfort:

    Enjoy consistent cooling during Arizona’s extreme heatwaves.

  • Access More Upgrades:

    Insulation, electric stoves, and more rebates are on the horizon.

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!
