Heating & Cooling Rebate

What is it?

Tampa Electric's Heating and Cooling program allows you to earn a rebate when you replace your old, inefficient air conditioning system with a new, energy-efficient system that meets our energy-saving standards. This program is available to all residential customers

How does it work?

When you replace an existing electric resistance, natural gas or oil heating system with a high-efficiency heat pump, you may qualify for a $400 rebate.
When you replace an existing heat pump with a high-efficiency heat pump, you may qualify for a $275 rebate.
When you replace an existing straight cool system or heat pump with a high-efficiency straight cool with natural gas heating unit, you may qualify for a $275 rebate.

Do any restrictions apply?

A minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) of 15 is required to participate.
Geothermal systems are eligible with a minimum EER of 12.0.

How do I get a Heating and Cooling Rebate?

When replacing an air conditioning system, talk to your contractor about installing a qualifying unit.

Please note: Tampa Electric requires the contractor to deduct the rebate amount from the customer's invoice and show the rebate amount as a separate line item on the customer's invoice. Once this is complete, the rebate will be paid directly to the contractor. If the unit is installed without a contractor (owner-installed), the homeowner must mail or fax proof of purchase (paid receipt) to Tampa Electric in order to receive the rebate. The documentation provided must validate that installation was not provided with the sale.
