As cooler weather rolls into New Orleans, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for next summer’s heat—and save money while doing it. Through Energy Smart, residential customers can take advantage of rebates on central air conditioning units and other energy-efficient upgrades.

Whether your A/C system needs a tune-up or a full replacement, Energy Smart offers incentives for improvements that boost efficiency and comfort. Some qualified upgrades must be completed by a participating trade ally contractor, and offers are available through December 31, 2025—or while funds last.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Up to $500 back when you upgrade to a qualifying ENERGY STAR® certified central air conditioning unit, air source or ductless heat pump.
• $150-$200 instant discount when you tune up your existing system.
• Access to partnering contractors to make it simple and ensure quality installation.

To get started, visit energysmartnola.info or call 504-229-6868. Don’t miss your chance to upgrade your comfort and lower your energy bills before the year ends.

Stay efficient, stay smart and stay cool—even in the off-season.
