A note about airflow

A good contractor will check the airflow during the installation of your cooling system for optimal performance. This helps to ensure your comfort. Inadequate airflow can reduce the efficiency of your system.

Registered AC contractors will use the following to ensure your system is sized correctly:

• Age of your home

• Type of insulation in your walls and ceiling

• Size, type and number of windows

• Wall type construction (2x4 or 2x6)

• Direction your house is facing

Determine the right size for you

1. Read the enclosed program information.

2. Visit xcelenergy.com/homerebates to search for AC contractors who are registered with our program. Only registered AC contractors have rebate applications.

3. Select a registered AC contractor who will size the unit appropriately for your home, install your system and test it at start up.

4. To qualify for our rebates, your unit must be AHRI certified. Ask your contractor.

How to get the right sized unit for your home

An estimated 60% of AC systems are oversized, which results in using too much energy and causes the AC systems to wear out faster than normal.

A good contractor will do a ‘load calculation’ to make sure you are receiving the right sized AC system.
