Cool Homes

Eligibility

Cool Homes is available to KCP&L Missouri customers currently on a residential electric rate, including single and multi-family homes.
Cool Homes is not available to customers that have already purchased a new system.
The instant rebate applies only to residential central A/C or heat pump systems at the time of purchase, and only when offered by a CheckMe! trained HVAC contractor.
Window or portable air conditioners do not qualify for rebates or tune-ups.
Only systems with a nameplate or operating EER of 8.0 or less are eligible for replacement. This can only be determined after the HVAC technician completes a test of the cooling system.
Only central A/C or heat pump systems in working condition are eligible for the program.
Cool Homes is not available to customers whose air conditioner or heat pump has died, malfunctioned, or is not working properly during the evaluation. Any A/C or heat pump equipment that cannot be tested for eligibility because it is inoperative, malfunctioning, or "dead" will not be eligible for a rebate.
If equipment cannot be tested due to equipment malfunction, contractors may offer a quote for additional costs required to repair the equipment to determine eligibility.

*The EER (Energy Efficiency Rating) measures steady-state efficiency of the air conditioner once it is up and running. An improperly maintained cooling system may lower your equipment's operating efficiency.
**The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) is an indicator of the overall energy efficiency of the unit. A participating Cool Homes HVAC contractor can help indentify the SEER and/or EER rating of your equipment.
