How are Golden State Rebates and CPA’s Instant AC Savings related?

Who is eligible for CPA’s Instant AC Savings incentive?
CPA residential customers on CARE and FERA are eligible to receive a $210 incentive towards the purchase of an energy efficient room air conditioner. Additionally, all CPA customers are eligible for a $90 incentive provided by SCE through Golden State Rebates. These combined $300 incentives are available through one application.
The ENERGY STAR® program is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ENERGY STAR® is a voluntary labeling program: EPA sets energy efficiency specifications and those that meet them can choose to display the ENERGY STAR® logo. In turn, consumers and businesses who want to save energy and money can look for the ENERGY STAR label when making buying decisions.
According to the EPA, since 1992, ENERGY STAR® has saved 5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity and avoided more than $500 billion in energy costs.
What are the benefits of ENERGY STAR® room air conditioners?
ENERGY STAR® air conditioners benefit customers by lowering energy bills through lower energy use and reduce greenhouse gas impacts.
Pairing high efficiency AC with CPA’s Power Response program can help maximize bill savings and lower strain on the electricity grid during peak summer usage.
How much does a room air conditioner cost?
The cost of an air conditioner will vary by make, model and retailer. Eligible base models start at approximately $300.
