Refrigerated Cooling
Apartment complexes and rental management groups are no longer limited to one refrigerated cooling rebate per program year. However, pre-approval is still required for applications of more than 10 units. There is also no longer a limit of one rebate per individually metered NM residential account per program year.
Improve Comfort. Save Energy.
Did you know that heating and cooling account for the majority of your monthly energy bill? If your household doesn’t have a high efficiency matched refrigerated air-conditioning system, the Residential Comprehensive Refrigerated Cooling Rebate can help you reduce your energy bills by installing a high-efficiency Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) matched refrigerated air conditioning system.
