Rebates
El Paso Electric cooler rebates: Texas and New Mexico
The two sides of the state line have different rules. Here they are in one place, with the date we checked each one.
Rebates change. Everything below was checked on November 9, 2026. Programs can change or run out of funds at any time, so confirm with El Paso Electric before you buy.
Texas side: El Paso, Horizon City, Socorro, Canutillo, Anthony TX
| Amount | $600 for residential customers; $700 for income-qualified customers (categories 1A, 1B or 1C; Category 2 is not eligible). If the project costs less than the rebate, the rebate equals the project cost. |
|---|---|
| Who qualifies | Texas customers who get electric service from El Paso Electric. Single-family homes (1 to 4 units); multifamily (more than 4 units) must be individually metered. |
| The cooler | Must be on EPE’s eligibility list, and bought and installed in the current program year. |
| Paperwork | Photos of the installed system and nameplate, plus the invoice or receipt (and an income form if income-qualified), within 45 days of the invoice date. |
| Contractor or DIY | You can hire a contractor of your choice or do the work yourself. A participating contractor calculates the rebate and deducts it from the final invoice. |
| Inspection | EPE or CLEAResult may inspect before paying: 15 to 20 minutes, weekdays 8 to 5. |
| Funding | Limited, first come, first served. The program page showed both “In stock” and “Out of stock” when we checked, so we cannot tell whether funds remain. Confirm with EPE before you buy. |

The Texas program also lists separate rebates for refrigerated cooling (AHRI-matched systems, including heat pumps), duct sealing and smart thermostats. We have not confirmed those amounts.
New Mexico side: Sunland Park, Anthony NM
| Amount | Not confirmed. EPE’s New Mexico page shows a limited-time banner with one amount and a rebate table with a different one, and does not explain how they relate. Check the eligibility list or ask EPE before counting on a figure. |
|---|---|
| Deadline | The limited-time offer runs through December 15, 2026, or while funds last. |
| Who qualifies | Residential customers in EPE’s New Mexico service area (for example Sunland Park and Anthony NM). |
| The cooler | On the Evaporative Cooling Unit Eligibility List, bought and installed in the current program year, and permanently installed with a single duct or ducted air distribution. Portable and window units are not eligible. |
| Limits | Two rebates per individually metered single-family account per program year. The rebate will not exceed what you paid for the qualifying model. |
| Applying | With or without a contractor, online or by mail with the receipt or invoice. Checks are mailed within 4 to 6 weeks of EPE receiving the application. |

Older pages that quote a “$300 to $700” cooler rebate are out of date, and EPE’s old evaporative cooling page now returns an error.
