HVAC System Replacement

​When an A/C unit works efficiently, it uses less energy to cool your home. If you replace your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system with a more energy-efficient model, you can earn incentives that can be applied to your installation invoice from participating contractors, depending on system size and the system's seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) rating level. The current minimum SEER standard for an A/C in Texas is 14; our incentives start at 16 SEER.


There are also easy ways to improve the efficiency of your existing heating and cooling equipment:

  • Keep your HVAC system clean, including filters, fans, ducts, and vents.
  • Clean or change filters monthly or as recommended by the manufacturer (at a minimum, change the filter every three months).
  •  Keep the condensation drain open.
  • Do not block air circulation from vents or cold air returns with furniture or window coverings.
  • Have your system maintained by a certified HVAC professional annually.
  • Ask your HVAC professional to test your ducts for leaks. Ducts that move air to and from a forced air furnace, central A/C, or heat pumps are often sources for air leakage. Sealing and insulating ducts can improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling system by as much as 20% — and sometimes much more!
