As spring brings warmer temperatures in San Antonio, savvy homeowners are turning their attention to their air conditioning units. This year, Comfort-Air Engineering & Primo Plumbing — celebrating 60 years of community trust — underscores the significance of updating your cooling systems not just for comfort but also for substantial financial gains.
Crunching the Numbers: Savings in the Air
Upgrading an AC system isn’t just a matter of home comfort—it’s also about the economics of energy efficiency. For San Antonio residents, the numbers are particularly compelling. With the potential to secure early replacement rebates, homeowners can receive from $115 up to a remarkable $310 per cooling ton, depending on the new unit’s SEER2 rating.
Early Replacement Rebates Explained
Take a closer look at the available rebates:
- For units with SEER ratings of ≥ 13.8 – 15.1 SEER2, homeowners can obtain $115 per cooling ton.
- Higher efficiency units (≥ 15.2 – 16.1 SEER2) can yield $130 per cooling ton in rebates.
- As the SEER2 rating climbs, so do the rebates, peaking at $310 per cooling ton for units with ratings of ≥ 20.0 SEER2.
Maximize Your Benefits with Replace on Burnout
In the unfortunate event of an AC unit failing, the Replace on Burnout Rebate offers a silver lining:
- Rebates start at $90 per cooling ton for units with ≥ 13.8 – 15.1 SEER2 ratings.
- They escalate to $275 per cooling ton for the highest efficiency units (≥ 20.0 SEER2).
Tax Credits: Boost Your Return on Investment
The financial incentives extend beyond rebates. Qualifying energy-efficient home improvements can lead to tax credits of up to $3,200, rewarding those who enhance their home’s energy profile. For example:
- You may claim $1,200 annually for energy property costs and certain home improvements, with additional limits based on the type of improvement.
- Qualified heat pumps and biomass stoves or boilers could fetch up to $2,000 in tax credits each year.
Enrolling in Wi-Fi Thermostat Programs
San Antonio’s CPS Energy is offering an $85 rebate for enrolling your Wi-Fi thermostat in their Winter DR Program, with an additional $30 annual credit. This program not only aids in managing energy demands but also contributes to your savings.
Making Sense of the Savings
For a homeowner in San Antonio considering an AC unit with a 16 SEER rating and a capacity of 5 tons, the early replacement rebate alone could equate to $875. Combine this with the potential tax credits, and the cost of upgrading becomes increasingly favorable.
