Rebates are available to owners of multifamily properties to help offset the cost of installing energy efficient upgrades in tenant units and interior common areas. These upgrades — which can include smart thermostats, HVAC tune-ups, attic insulation, solar screens, and LED lighting — help reduce peak energy demand and consumption while also decreasing electric bills.
Standard rebates are designed to pay up to 80% of the cost of the energy efficiency measures installed.
Eligible properties may complete the project utilizing in-house staff or an approved participating contractor, depending on the measures installed.
Austin Energy staff and the staff of a participating contractor will help you complete the necessary application and inspections and will provide support throughout the process.
