Upgrade Your Comfort with Rebates & Low-Interest Financing

If your air conditioner struggles to keep up—or has stopped working altogether—it may be time for an HVAC replacement. At 1st Choice Energy, we help Austin homeowners upgrade their heating and cooling systems with high-efficiency units that improve comfort and reduce monthly utility bills.

Even better? Many of these upgrades qualify for generous rebates and low-interest financing through Austin Energy’s Home Energy Savings Program—making a new HVAC system more affordable than you might expect.

Why Replace Your HVAC System?

  • Your current unit is 10+ years old

  • Frequent breakdowns or repairs

  • High electric bills in summer

  • Inconsistent comfort across rooms

  • Planning to sell your home and want to increase value

HVAC Systems We Install

We install a range of systems tailored to your home’s size, layout, and comfort needs:

Central Air Conditioners

A new energy efficient central AC system provides whole-home cooling with strong performance and efficiency. We offer high-SEER central air conditioner replacement in Austin that qualifies for rebates and can significantly reduce your cooling costs.

Furnaces

Need reliable heating in winter? We replace aging or inefficient gas furnaces with new models that are more efficient, quieter, and better at maintaining even temperatures throughout your home.

 Heat Pumps

Heat pumps offer both heating and cooling in one efficient system and all electric operation. Heat pumps work with your existing ductwork and are especially well-suited in Austin’s mild winter climate. Austin Energy offers higher rebates for heat pumps—making them a great choice if you're ready to upgrade.

Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps

Perfect for additions, converted garages, or rooms without ductwork, mini-splits give you zoned comfort and excellent efficiency. We install single- and multi-zone systems, and many qualify for rebates through the Home Energy Savings program.

Sizing Your HVAC System for Maximum Comfort & Efficiency

At 1st Choice Energy, we never do one-size-fits-all replacements. Every HVAC project starts with a precise engineering analysis to ensure your new system is properly sized—not too big, not too small—for your home’s unique characteristics.

Our team considers:

  • Home volume and layout

  • Existing weatherization levels

  • Ductwork and return air design

  • Exterior features like shading, awnings, or solar screens

Replacing the HVAC system in your Texas home is the perfect time to improve your home's insulation and weatherization. By reducing energy waste, you can often achieve better comfort with a smaller, more efficient system, saving you money on both installation and monthly bills. These upgrades also qualify for rebates and help your new system perform at its best.

Lower the Cost with Rebates & Financing

Through the Austin Energy Home Energy Savings Program, you may qualify for incentives covering a variety of home improvements, including HVAC rebates:

  • Total rebates average $2,600 and go as high as $7,200

  • Low-interest financing through Velocity Credit Union starting at just 1.99% APR

We’ll help you apply, and if you decide to take advantage of both rebates and financing, your rebates are deducted directly from your invoice—so you save upfront!

Take Advantage of HVAC Tax Credits (While They Last!)

Right now, the federal government offers valuable tax credits for qualifying high-efficiency HVAC systems:

  • Up to $600 for high-efficiency central ACs and furnaces

  • Up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps and ductless mini-splits

These incentives can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost—but the future of these credits is uncertain after 2025. If you're considering a system upgrade, now is the time to act and maximize your savings. We’ll help you understand which systems qualify and how to claim your credit.

Get Started with a Free Energy Assessment

Before replacing your system, we offer a free energy assessment to evaluate your current setup, identify opportunities for rebates, and recommend the best heating and cooling equipment for your home. In some cases, upgrading insulation or sealing ducts alongside your HVAC replacement can improve results and unlock even more savings.

    Joel and Judy Raymond

  • David did an energy audit on the house I bought.  He explained as he went along what he was doing and what would need done. Part of the attic needed added insulation, which he arranged to have done which was a great help to me. He was friendly and professional.

  • I wanted to let you know how very happy I was with the energy audit conducted by 1st Choice Energy. The work was done with care to get the most accurate evaluation possible.

    Mary Claire G.

  • I recently used 1st Choice Energy to perform a required Austin energy audit on my parent's home that I am assisting them in selling. They responded to my initial inquiry quickly, quoted a great price right then, and was able to schedule the audit within the next few days.

    Kathryn

  • 1st Choice Energy gave excellent advice on what needed to be done to install a new A/C unit and to add insulation in our 60 year old house. They did the estimate which turned out to be by far the lowest.

  • 1st Choice Energy came over to help me understand why my electricity bill had jumped by 50%. They were extremely professional and helpful, fully explained the problem, and wrote me up a thorough recommendation.

    Anita

  • 1st Choice Energy was great to work with. They was very responsive and able to get everything set up for us very quickly. We had AC and weatherization work done. I would highly recommend 1st Choice Energy, especially if you're going through the Austin Energy Rebate or Loan route.

    Jeremy

  • I wholeheartedly recommend the services provided 1st Choice Energy.  When I first learned that I needed an energy audit before my final inspection could be completed, I was a little nervous about what needed to be done.
