Homeowner context
Arizona homeowners apply at efficiencyarizona.com before install, confirm AMI at or below 150%, and check SRP versus APS territory—knowing existing heat pumps usually do not qualify for HEAR replacement rebates.
Default electricity-rate assumption for calculators: $0.16 per kWh. Replace with the user's actual utility rate.

Pre-contract checklist
Most homeowners comparing rebates across our 50 state guides confirm these items in writing before a deposit—not because a quote promised a subsidy, but because missed pre-approval, wrong stacking order, or equipment outside an approved list are the usual reasons applications stall after install.
Modeled, not guaranteed: WattRebate summarizes paths and federal caps; only official programs approve funding. Pair this list with the links below and our methodology—we do not submit applications or promise eligibility.
- Efficiency Arizona application approval before equipment order.
- AMI eligibility documented—not assumed from calculator only.
- SRP versus APS territory confirmed on the quote.
- Heat pump replacement scope checked against DOE same-appliance rules.
- Rebate figures labeled estimated until program confirmation.

Common questions
What rebates should Arizona homeowners check first?
Arizona homeowners should check state-administered Home Energy Rebates, local utility programs, ENERGY STAR product eligibility, and any project-specific requirements before signing an installation contract.
Does Arizona have the same rebate amounts as every other state?
No. Federal program caps are national, but state launch status, application workflow, approved contractors, utility programs, and remaining funding vary by location.
Should I count the 25C tax credit for a 2026 project?
WattRebate does not count the 25C credit by default for 2026 installs because IRS guidance says qualifying improvements were claimable for improvements made through December 31, 2025.
Can Arizona homeowners replace an existing heat pump with Efficiency Arizona HEAR funds?
Generally no. Program FAQs cite DOE rules that do not fund replacement of existing heat pumps. Check eligibility for other measures such as water heaters, wiring, or induction upgrades.
Do I need Efficiency Arizona approval before installing HEAR equipment?
Yes. Apply at efficiencyarizona.com before installation—completed projects without approval are not eligible. Match your contract timeline to written approval, not verbal contractor assurances.
Should I check SRP or APS rebates in addition to Efficiency Arizona?
Yes. APS ended most residential rebates in 2026 per state review notes; SRP and other utilities may still offer programs. Confirm territory—rebate pages depend on who serves your meter.
Is Arizona HOMES available if I am above 150% AMI?
Arizona's HOMES whole-home program was not launched as of this review. Households above HEAR income limits should watch efficiencyarizona.com for HOMES updates and use any open utility pathways.
Does WattRebate guarantee my Efficiency Arizona rebate?
No. Calculators model federal HEAR caps; Arizona approval, AMI verification, and measure eligibility must be confirmed on efficiencyarizona.com before you rely on a dollar amount on a quote.
