The HVAC Upgrade program is applicable to business customers who upgrade existing units with new equipment. Participating HVAC contractors will work with the customer on the type of system, price and installation details. After installation, a rebate application will be prepared along with invoice documentation. All services will be subject to on-site verification.
The amount of rebate will be dependent on the efficiency rating and tonnage of each unit installed at the customer’s facility. The intent of this program is to provide the customer with an incentive that will buy down their upfront efficiency improvement premium.

The Appalachian Power and American Electric Power Prescriptive program requires the work be completed by a licensed contractor who is participating in the network unless the customer has sufficient staff to install. A contractor network has been established for a customer to identify potential contractors to complete the installation of the new unit. This contractor network is available on the web and can be found here. Contractors may click here to register.
Once the work is completed and appropriate paperwork is received it will take up to 45 days to receive your rebate check.
All rebate checks are made payable directly to the customer and mailed to the address on file.
In order to qualify, the business must be an individually metered Appalachian Power or American Electric Power customer with an active account regardless of their gas supplier.
