City of Cedar Grove and Pedernales Electric Cooperative offer seasonal rebates for high-efficiency HVAC, smart thermostats, and demand response participation. We track active programs and apply them automatically.
Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Rheem run seasonal promotions (typically spring and fall) offering $500-$1,500 instant rebates on qualifying systems. We pass these through directly — not held back as margin.
