Peak Hogs Cash Incentives Program
What Is a Peak Hog?
Peak Hogs are energy inefficient air conditioning units. These inefficient AC units
are called "Peak Hogs" because of the high demand for energy they place on the local
electrical systems during peak hours.
Who Is This Program For and How Much of a Discount Will I Get?
Small business owners and small business property owners are eligible to replace
inefficient air conditioning units with new ENERGY STAR® qualified units.
Peak Hog incentives can equal as much as 50% of the installed cost of a new ENERGY
STAR system! Actual incentives will be based on the difference between the old and
new SEER for central
AC units and old and new EER
for wall type AC units. Final incentives are calculated by GWP after all work is
completed.
Eligibility Requirements
- The Peak Hog AC unit to be replaced must serve a small business in Glendale on the
L2 rate schedule. Generally,
this means your monthly GWP electric bill is less than $3,000 a month.
- AC units must be permanently installed.

- Window air conditioning units do not qualify.
- Replacement air conditioning units must be
ENERGY STAR qualified and meet current ENERGY STAR qualifications.
