- Customer shall install an HVAC unit that replaces an existing unit with a new HVAC unit that meets either the Consortium for Energy Efficiency's (CEE) Tier I or Tier II standards
- Fuel switching from natural gas to electricity shall not be allowed
- Rebate shall require the removal or disablement of previous heating and cooling equipment
- Customer must, at a minimum, have PSE electric service

Save now: Get a rebate when you purchase a replacement energy-efficient air conditioner or heat pump that meets the
CEE's high-efficiency commercial air conditioning and heat pump initiative. The PSE rebate will help lower your purchase price on more energy-efficient HVAC equipment.
Save later: Lower utility bills—efficient HVAC equipment saves energy and money throughout the life of the unit. Your facility demand charges may be decreased with the use of more efficient equipment.
Efficient HVAC equipment will save you money every month in energy costs. Units meeting the CEE specification are up to 20 percent more efficient than standard HVAC equipment.
