AI summary · 7/12/2026

AEP (Central and SWEPCO) Coolsaver A/C Tune Up or Replacement offers instant rebates when you replace your air conditioning system with a high-efficiency unit through a participating contractor. Rebates range from $120 to $800 depending on the system's tonnage and SEER rating, with higher efficiency systems earning larger incentives—for example, a 3.0-ton SEER 18 system qualifies for $360. To participate, work with a participating HVAC contractor in your area who can apply the rebate at the point of sale.

This program rewards contractors who help customers upgrade to high-efficiency A/C systems by offering instant rebates that can be passed to customers, making your offerings more competitive. Participating contractors must enter a partnering agreement specifying program requirements and receive training on A/C tune-up diagnostics to identify and correct system inefficiencies. You'll gain access to incentives and discounted diagnostic equipment while serving residential and small commercial SWEPCO customers.

The program delivers tonnage- and SEER-tiered rebates ($120–$800) for residential A/C replacements only, funded by AEP Texas Central and SWEPCO to reduce cooling energy consumption. Participating contractors sign agreements, receive training on diagnostic procedures, and are equipped to quantify energy savings; the program targets residential and small commercial customers in SWEPCO service territories across South, Central, and West Texas. Energy savings are realized through correction of A/C inefficiencies identified during tune-up activities.
