No electric utility is on file for Oro Valley on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
SRP Cool Cash variable-capacity heat pump rebate, run by SRP, is a live program for Arizona addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $1,000 per system (registry row 32 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.srpnet.com/energy-savings-rebates/home/rebates/air-conditioner, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Oro Valley address before counting it. With 33% of Oro Valley homes already on electric heat and 64% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Efficiency Arizona HEAR (Home Efficiency and Electrification Rebates): $8,000 usd_max (https://efficiencyarizona.com/, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the address.
Median household income in Oro Valley is $107,117 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0451600, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.
Heating design temperature: 22F.

That 22F figure is the Pima County cold-day number a Oro Valley heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 22F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 63% of Oro Valley on gas and 33% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Oro Valley home has 6 rooms and was built around 1997, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
