The Appliance Efficiency Program (AEP)
The AEP is a rebate program that provides a monetary incentive to AE customers
to purchase and install 12 SEER or higher HVAC equipment. Without
weatherization, the amount of the rebate is dependant on the efficiency of the
appliance—in the case of central air conditioning and heating systems, it
depends on the SEER rating. The rebate schedule for existing structures are as
follows: 12-12.9 SEER--$100; 13-13.9 SEER--$250, 14-14.9 SEER--$400, 15 SEER and
higher--$550. The advantages of using the AEP are that no verification
inspection is required and no weatherization services are involved, so it can be
done quickly. Like all rebate programs from the city, eligibility requires the
replacement of the indoor and outdoor parts of the system and a building permit.
The AEP has separate levels of rebate for new and existing construction.
