Rebates most homeowners never file. We file them all.
Arizona utilities, cities, and the state pay real money for smart building choices - but every program has its own forms, deadlines, and pre-approval traps. On a Wright Sterling project, finding and filing every one you qualify for is simply part of the service.

How we handle it →Why you won't see every program listed here
We track 3 more programs beyond this list - but a program only earns a page here after we confirm its current terms and funding directly with the utility, city, or state that runs it. That's the same honesty we bring to your quote: every amount shows its source and the date we last verified it, and we re-check before anything enters your proposal.
