No statewide rebate program

Incentives run through your utility

Texas's home energy rebate program is not open as of 2026-10-07 (https://comptroller.texas.gov/programs/seco/funding/ira/). Check your state energy office for current rebates. No statewide program; Texas is entirely utility-driven. Austin Energy, Oncor, CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, and CPS Energy run contractor-delivered HVAC incentives; confirm current amounts with the utility. A homeowner claims their own utility's program.
