HVAC Rebates for Austin Homeowners


Austin is well-known for its vibrant culture—whether it’s the incredible taco scene, live music, or its signature quirky vibe. But one of Austin’s standout features is its dedication to being eco-friendly. In fact, Architectural Digest named it the greenest city in the U.S. in 2017. From beautiful parks to energy-saving initiatives, the city is serious about sustainability.

In line with Austin’s green efforts, we’re proud to help homeowners make their spaces more eco-conscious. The City of Austin offers HVAC and air conditioning rebates to reward residents for choosing energy-efficient systems. By upgrading to high-efficiency models, you may qualify for federal tax credits, City of Austin HVAC rebates (for Austin Energy customers), and manufacturer rebates.

McCullough is thrilled to be an official partner of Austin Energy, allowing us to offer these valuable HVAC rebates. Over the years, we’ve helped Austin homeowners save over $2 million through both Austin Energy and Texas Gas rebates.

We’re also dedicated to helping you identify which systems qualify for additional manufacturer rebates and Energy Star certifications, ensuring your investment is maximized while contributing to Austin’s green goals.

Below, you’ll find more details on the HVAC rebates available in Central Texas and how to make the most of them when upgrading your home’s system.

HVAC Rebates in Austin

It’s no secret that installing a new HVAC system is a significant investment. However, there are plenty of ways to reduce the cost while choosing the best energy-efficient option for your home and the environment. Several rebate programs, including city of Austin AC rebates, are available to make this purchase more affordable.

With the right combination of rebates, you could save up to $4,400 on your system upgrade. Here are a few options to consider:

Manufacturer Rebates

Although we work on all major HVAC systems, we prioritize top-tier brands that offer the best rebates.

Carrier Systems
As a Carrier Authorized Factory Dealer, we provide access to excellent manufacturer rebates. If you opt for a Carrier system, we’ll guide you through the rebate process, handle the paperwork, and ensure you get the savings you deserve.

Mitsubishi Ductless Systems
For homeowners considering a ductless system, Mitsubishi ductless systems offer up to $900 in rebates. These systems are already energy-efficient, using 25-40% less power, and they don’t require costly ductwork. We’ll handle the rebate paperwork for you, making the process hassle-free.

Austin Energy Rebates

As a proud partner of Austin Energy, McCullough is committed to helping residents save both energy and money. Through the City of Austin’s HVAC rebate program, you can reduce energy consumption and earn rebates for weatherization and other energy-saving home improvements. We’ll work with you to determine which upgrades qualify for rebates, ensuring you save on both upfront costs and long-term energy bills.

Our team takes care of all rebate submissions, ensuring you get the maximum savings without the hassle.

Federal Tax Credits

Did you know upgrading to an energy-efficient HVAC system could help reduce your federal taxes? EnergyStar-certified systems often qualify for tax credits, which can lower your tax liability. We’ll help you with the necessary forms, including Tax Form 5695, to claim your credit.

Please note: Federal tax credits are only available for systems installed in an existing home and primary residence, and there are other restrictions, but we’re happy to guide you through the process.

How To Take Advantage of HVAC Rebates

The process for securing HVAC rebates can often seem complex and time-consuming. That’s why McCullough works closely with you to ensure you understand all the details of your eligible rebates. These rebates apply to top-rated systems that deliver long-term savings, so we’ll help you navigate the qualifications without any pressure.

Here’s what to expect when claiming your rebate:

  • Rebate Qualifications: Specific criteria apply to both the new system and the one being replaced. Your McCullough technician will review everything with you to ensure your system qualifies.
  • Deadline Management: Each rebate comes with its own deadlines. Whether you’re handling the forms or we are, we’ll keep you on track and aware of all important dates.
  • Rebate Payout: We understand you want to know when you’ll receive your rebate. We’ll provide clear timelines based on your rebate submission, so you’re never left wondering.
