Salt River Project (SRP) Energy Rebates
Salt River Project (SRP) is one of Arizona's largest electric utilities, serving approximately 1.1 million customers in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. As a community-based, not-for-profit utility, SRP reinvests in its service territory through a range of residential energy efficiency rebates and incentive programs. SRP's rebates help homeowners in one of the hottest metropolitan areas in the United States manage their electricity costs by upgrading to high-efficiency cooling systems, heat pump water heaters, insulation, and smart home technology. With Phoenix-area summer temperatures frequently exceeding 110 degrees, the energy efficiency improvements incentivized by SRP can deliver substantial savings on monthly electric bills.

Stacking with Federal Rebates
Utility rebates from Salt River Project (SRP) can typically be combined with the federal HOMES and HEAR rebates, but those are run state by state and most states have not launched them, so in much of the country there is currently nothing federal to combine with. This means you could potentially receive both a utility rebate and a federal rebate for the same improvement. Use our calculator to estimate your total savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my home is served by SRP or APS?
SRP and APS divide the Phoenix metropolitan area between them. Generally, SRP serves the East Valley (Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale east of Hayden Road) and portions of central Phoenix, while APS covers Phoenix proper and much of the West Valley. The easiest way to confirm is to look at your electric bill — it will clearly show whether SRP or APS is your provider. You can also enter your address on srpnet.com to check.
Does SRP offer rebates for ductless mini-split heat pumps?
SRP's rebate program primarily focuses on central ducted systems, but ductless mini-split heat pumps may qualify under certain program terms. Mini-splits are particularly popular in Arizona for adding efficient cooling to rooms without existing ductwork, such as converted garages or room additions. Check SRP's current qualifying products list for the latest eligibility information.
Are SRP rebates available for new construction homes?
SRP's residential rebate programs are generally designed for existing homes where improvements replace older, less efficient equipment. New construction homes are typically built to current energy codes and may not qualify for the same rebate programs. However, SRP does offer builder programs and incentives for new homes that exceed minimum energy code requirements. Contact SRP for details on new construction incentives.
Can I combine SRP rebates with federal programs for the same equipment?
Yes, SRP utility rebates and federal programs are separate incentive programs from different funding sources. You can receive an SRP rebate for qualifying equipment such as a heat pump and also benefit from the federal HEAR program (up to $8,000 for qualifying heat pumps for households at or below 150% AMI) or the HOMES program (up to $8,000 for whole-home energy performance upgrades). Important: The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit and the 25D Residential Clean Energy Credit both expired December 31, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and are not available for 2026 installations. This stacking can cover a significant portion of the total installation cost.
