Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) runs one of the most generous utility rebate programs in the region, but the program changes annually and the rebate list is buried inside the Power Forward with PSO portal. Here's everything available in 2026, organized by category, with notes on what we file for you and what you file yourself.
Program rules: You must be an active PSO residential customer. Equipment must be ENERGY STAR certified where applicable. Submit documentation within 45 days of purchase or installation. Rebates valid for 2025–2026 program year.

Building envelope rebates (big savings, often missed)
These are the rebates most homeowners don't know about — and they pair well with HVAC upgrades because a properly sealed and insulated home lets you size your new system smaller and run it less.
- Attic Insulation (existing R-22 or less, upgrade to R-38+): $600
- Air Infiltration Sealing: $600
- Duct Replacement (with multi-upgrade): up to $3,000
- Duct Sealing: up to $1,800
If your home is older than 1995 and you've never had a blower-door test or had attic insulation refreshed, these rebates are almost certainly available to you.
Small-ticket rebates (still real money)
- Advanced Power Strips: up to $13
- Air Filter: $1.50
- Door Seals / Sweeps / Weatherstripping: $2
- EV Charger (Level 2): $200
Demand response programs (separate from one-time rebates)
Power Hours (residential)
PSO's residential demand response program. You let PSO cycle your AC or smart thermostat during summer peak-demand events (typically 2–7 PM on hot weekdays, June–September). In exchange, PSO pays you an annual bill credit. Most participants earn $40–$100 per summer.
Peak Performers (commercial & industrial)
The C&I version of Power Hours. Larger payments, scaled to load shed. Talk to your account rep if you run a commercial site.
Stacking rebates with federal tax credits
Most PSO rebates stack with the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) for:
- Heat pumps: up to $2,000 federal tax credit + PSO rebate
- Heat pump water heaters: up to $2,000 federal credit + PSO $750
- Insulation: 30% of cost up to $1,200 + PSO $600
Geothermal qualifies for the larger 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D) with no annual cap, plus PSO's $1,400 rebate.
How Airo files PSO rebates for you
When we install qualifying HVAC equipment, we handle:
- Verifying the AHRI match meets PSO's SEER2/HSPF2 threshold
- Documenting the install with photos, serial numbers, and invoice
- Submitting the rebate application within the 45-day window
- Following up if PSO requests additional documentation
Most rebates land as a check 6–10 weeks after install. We'll let you know when to expect it.
Rebates we don't file (but you should claim)
Insulation, duct sealing (if done by a separate envelope contractor), water heaters, EV chargers, and small appliances are filed by the contractor or homeowner directly through the PSO portal. Keep your invoice and submit within 45 days.

FAQ
Do I have to be a PSO customer to qualify for these rebates?
Yes. You must have an active PSO residential electric account for the address where equipment is installed. Most of the Tulsa metro is PSO territory, but a few outlying areas are served by other co-ops.
Can I claim PSO rebates and federal tax credits on the same equipment?
Yes. PSO utility rebates stack with the federal 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit and the 25D Residential Clean Energy Credit. Talk to a tax professional to confirm your eligibility.
How long does it take to receive my PSO rebate?
Typically 6–10 weeks from submission to check. If documentation is incomplete, it can extend to 12+ weeks. We handle the documentation for HVAC rebates to keep things moving.
What is Power Hours and is it worth signing up for?
Power Hours is PSO's residential demand response program — they cycle your AC briefly during summer peak periods in exchange for annual bill credits ($40–$100 typical). For most households it's free money; a few people find the cycling uncomfortable on the hottest afternoons.
