How the HVAC Rebate Process Works with Universe
We come to your home, assess your needs, and discuss system options and potential rebate opportunities based on your address, utility, and equipment choices.
Your Comfort Advisor explains which programs may apply to your installation and how those incentives could affect your overall project cost.
Our licensed installation team completes the work, tests the system, and provides the final paperwork you’ll typically need for rebate submission.
After installation, use your final paperwork to submit the required application online or by mail through the appropriate utility or rebate program.
Already Installed? Here’s How to Claim Your Rebate
Once your new HVAC system is installed, most rebate programs require you to submit an application using information from your final paperwork. Use the checklist below to gather what you need, then visit your utility’s rebate page to review current application steps and forms.
What to Look for in Your Paperwork
It should show the installation date, equipment model and serial numbers, and the total project cost including labor.
Use the name, service address, and electric or gas account number exactly as they appear on your utility bill.
Some programs ask for a signed completion form or installation verification document.
Some programs may ask for a photo of the installed equipment or equipment nameplate label.
Have the manufacturer and model numbers for your heat pump, air conditioner, furnace, boiler, or thermostat, along with efficiency ratings such as SEER2, HSPF2, or AFUE when available.
Step-by-Step: Walking Through the Rebate Process
Make sure you have your invoice, equipment information, and utility account details ready before starting your application.
Fill out your contact information, service address, equipment details, and upload or attach your invoice and any required forms.
After you submit, save or print your confirmation page or confirmation email for your records.
Rebates may arrive as a check, prepaid card, or bill credit depending on the program, and processing times vary by provider.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to know which rebate program I qualify for before I call Universe?
No. When you schedule an estimate, your Comfort Advisor can help identify which programs may apply based on your equipment, utility, and home address.
Can Universe apply for the rebate on my behalf?
In many cases, the homeowner submits the rebate directly through the utility program, though some programs also offer contractor-supported application options. We provide the paperwork you’ll typically need, including invoice details, equipment information, and installation documentation.
How long does it take to receive my rebate?
Processing times vary by utility and season. After you submit your application, keep your confirmation email or printed confirmation and check the program website for status updates.
What if I can’t find my model or serial number?
Start with your Universe invoice and any paperwork left by your installer. If you still can’t find what you need, call us and we can help you locate the information or provide a copy of your invoice.
How do I know which utility rebate program applies to me?
The easiest way is to check your utility bill. The correct rebate application usually depends on the utility that serves your home, such as PSEG Long Island, National Grid, or Orange & Rockland Utilities.
I still have questions. Who should I call?
