Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the Garland Power & Light AC rebate?
GPL offers utility bill credits ranging from $600 to $900 per unit depending on the type of system (air conditioner vs. heat pump) and the efficiency rating. Higher-efficiency systems receive larger credits. For example, a standard 16 SEER central AC qualifies for $600, while an 18 SEER heat pump qualifies for $900.
Do I qualify for the GPL EnergySaver rebate?
To qualify, you need to be a current Garland Power & Light customer with electric service at the address where the equipment is being installed. The program is available for existing homes and businesses in the GPL service area. New construction does not qualify.
Can I get a rebate if I only replace my outdoor unit?
No. The program requires a total system changeout — both the outdoor condensing unit and the indoor coil (and air handler, if applicable) must be replaced. This is actually better for you, because a matched system delivers the efficiency ratings the manufacturer designed for. A mismatched system often underperforms.
Does my contractor need to be licensed?
Yes. The installation must be completed by a licensed air conditioning contractor, and a City of Garland mechanical permit is required. Expedition Heating & Air holds Texas HVAC license TACLB112648E and pulls permits on every install.
How do I apply for the rebate after installation?
You’ll need to submit four items to GPL: a copy of the contractor invoice showing equipment model and serial numbers, the AHRI rating sheet confirming efficiency ratings, your City of Garland mechanical permit number, and a completed and signed EnergySaver Program application. Expedition provides the invoice and AHRI documentation — you just need to submit the packet to GPL by mail or in person at 217 N. Fifth Street, Garland, TX 75040.
How long does it take to receive the credit?
GPL typically applies the credit to your utility account within 2 to 8 weeks after receiving your completed application and supporting documents.
Can I combine this rebate with financing?
Absolutely. The GPL bill credit is separate from how you pay for the system. You can take advantage of our financing options and still receive the full rebate credit on your utility bill.
Is the rebate program still available?
The current EnergySaver Program runs through September 30, 2026, but credits are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and the program ends when funding is depleted. GPL recommends calling their Energy Advisor at (972) 205-2929 to confirm availability before purchasing equipment. We also verify program status before every qualifying install.
Does Expedition Heating & Air work outside of Garland?
Yes — we serve the entire Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. However, the GPL EnergySaver rebate is only available to Garland Power & Light customers. If you’re served by a different utility, ask us about other manufacturer rebates and incentives that may be available to you.
