Illustrative property scene
Start with your building
A project that fits your operations.
An apartment improvement plan has to work for residents, onsite teams, and ownership. We help turn scattered equipment replacements and comfort complaints into a coordinated rebate project. Start with the buildings, unit layouts, metering, and equipment already in place. That creates a clearer basis for deciding what to upgrade together and how to phase access across occupied homes. For Austin Energy and CPS Energy properties, the multifamily program rules differ, so we establish the appropriate pathway before estimating incentives or scheduling installation.
What determines eligibility?
- Austin Energy’s standard existing-property pathway generally requires four or more rental units, a property age of at least ten years, and common ownership or management.
- CPS Energy’s targeted multifamily pathway requires individually metered electric service, five or more units, an age of at least ten years, and the stated income-assistance or qualifying nonprofit criteria.
- Common areas and master-metered buildings need separate review. Apply and confirm required approval before work begins.
Your utility confirms eligibility, approved measures, incentive amounts, and funding. Review requirements before purchasing or installing equipment.
Where to look for improvements
Consider the whole building.
Start with these opportunities for apartment complexes. The program pages below cover the broader measure lists and utility requirements.
Insulation and weatherization
Look at attic conditions, air leakage, and available window measures across repeat building layouts.
Lighting, thermostats, and more

Build a phased budget
Separate proposed cost, estimated utility support, owner contribution, and timing before committing to a property-wide rollout.
Questions from property teams
Know what to ask before you begin.
Do market-rate apartments qualify for rebates?
Austin Energy has standard and income-qualified multifamily pathways. The CPS Energy dedicated multifamily program has specific assistance or nonprofit requirements. We review the property rather than assuming the same rules apply in both markets.
Can we start with one building?
A staged project can be considered, but the program team must confirm the proposed scope, measure combination, and funding requirements. Tell us which buildings you want to prioritize.
Should we include the leasing office?
Yes, include it in the initial assessment. Its meter, equipment, and use may require a different application from the rental units.
