SRP Business Solutions — HVAC Rebates

SRP's commercial HVAC rebates for the Phoenix-area businesses it serves — and the program still running after APS ended its own in 2026.

Deadline: Rebates are paid first-come while funds remain within SRP's fiscal year (FY27 runs May 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027). There is no fixed calendar-day cutoff beyond the fiscal-year window — apply early, as budgets can be committed before year-end. Confirm current amounts before purchasing.

Rebate amounts by equipment tier

Equipment tier Amount Requirements
Unitary heat pump $110–$135 per ton SRP business customer; qualifying high-efficiency equipment (FY27 Standard fact sheet)
Advanced rooftop controls $250 per ton Qualifying advanced controls on rooftop units (FY27 Standard fact sheet)
HVAC Tune-Up Discounts covering a majority of tune-up cost (exact amount set by program) Facility 2+ years old; system 2+ tons; work by an SRP-approved HVAC Tune-Up network contractor
Economizers, VFDs, chillers, VRF, EMS controls Custom / measured incentive (no flat published amount) Routed through SRP Custom Business Solutions with pre-approval; incentive calculated on verified savings
Service territory: SRP serves the south and east Valley — including Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, parts of Phoenix and Scottsdale (south Scottsdale), Glendale, Peoria, Avondale (east of the Agua Fria), Queen Creek, and Apache Junction. APS serves the rest of metro Phoenix and most of Arizona. The SRP/APS boundary is address-specific — a single street can flip between them — so confirm which utility is on your business meter; SRP and APS rebates are mutually exclusive by service address.

Salt River Project runs commercial HVAC rebates through its Business Solutions program for the Phoenix-area businesses it serves. The standout context for 2026: APS discontinued its commercial HVAC rebates as of January 1, 2026 (Arizona Corporation Commission Decision No. 81584), so SRP's program is now the live commercial-HVAC incentive in the Valley — but only for businesses on SRP's lines.

The Standard Business Solutions fact sheet (FY27, the fiscal year running May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027) publishes flat amounts for two HVAC measures: $110–$135 per ton for qualifying unitary heat pumps and $250 per ton for advanced rooftop controls. Total business rebates can reach up to $300,000 across measures. SRP also runs an HVAC Tune-Up track that discounts a majority of the cost of a commercial tune-up for facilities at least two years old with systems of two tons or more, performed by an approved network contractor.

Other measures — economizers, variable frequency drives, chillers, VRF, and energy-management systems — are eligible but carry no flat published amount; they route through SRP's Custom Business Solutions path, which pays a measured incentive based on verified savings after a pre-approval review. There is no flat per-ton dollar figure for standard unitary air conditioners on the current fact sheet, so don't assume one.

Because the SRP and APS service areas interleave street by street across metro Phoenix, the first step is confirming SRP is the utility on your business meter. From there, apply through savewithsrpbiz.com (or have your contractor do it) before buying, since standard and custom measures alike expect pre-approval and pay first-come while fiscal-year funds last. Confirm current amounts on SRP's site before you commit.
