Residential & Small Commercial A/C Tune-up

Quick Start Program

The Residential & Small Commercial A/C Tune-up Program is designed to increase energy efficiency by overcoming market barriers that prevent residential and business customers from receiving high-performance A/C and heat pump system tune-ups. Energy savings are achieved by identifying A/C and heat pump system inefficiencies during the tune-up evaluation and correcting the system inefficiencies.

Who Is Eligible?

All residential and commercial customers of Entergy Arkansas, Inc. are eligible to receive incentives in this program.

All heating, ventilation, and air conditioning contractors that serve Entergy Arkansas customers with central air conditioning or heat pump systems may apply to participate in this program. Participating contractors that wish to participate must enter into a contractor partnering agreement that specifies eligibility and program requirements. All Entergy Arkansas residential and commercial customers are eligible to receive incentives in this program.

What Are The Program Benefits?

Program benefits include providing customers with dollars-off coupon incentives to assist paying for qualified system corrections identified in a tune-up evaluation. Contractors receive incentives to learn how to conduct A/C tune-up evaluations and to perform system efficiency improvements.

How Does The Program Work?

Customers agree to a high-performance tune-up evaluation from a program partnering contractor. The contractor conducts the high-performance system tune-up evaluation with program-specified tools and procedures. If the evaluation identifies system inefficiencies, the contractor educates the customer of the recommended improvements. For eligible efficiency improvements, the customer receives an incentive dollars-off coupon towards the work.

What Are The Incentives?

The customer coupon incentive for eligible efficiency improvements is $75. Contractor incentives are in the form of training on best practices, discounts on high quality tools, and cash incentives to conduct the high performance system tune-ups

What Energy Efficiency Measures Are Eligible For Incentives?

Examples of possible eligible system improvements for customer dollars-off coupons include, but are not limited to:

• Clean Blower
• Clean indoor coil
• Install larger or additional return grill
• Install larger or additional return ducts
• Repair kinked or crushed ducts
• Remove excess flex duct length
• Install larger or additional supply ducts and grills
• Install turning vanes to reduce friction
• Install new indoor coil
• Replace transition to coil

The program provides cash incentives to customers to make identified system efficiency improvements. The financial investment that any customer makes is for the tune-up evaluation and the efficiency improvements performed on their own homes.

Partnering Contractors are required to own tools that meet the program toolkit requirements.
