Looking to install new technologies?
We've assembled a list of Qualified Technology Installers who can help advise, install and maintain the suite of technologies connected to your home. Find solar, battery storage, cooling & heating and electric vehicle charging station installers, plus qualified contractors for a home energy checkup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our qualified installers are registered through the Registrar of Contractors (ROC), have maintained a rating of B or better through the BBB, and have been trained on APS programs. Each technology also comes with unique qualifications to ensure we are providing a list of experienced and professional installers.
Our qualified installers have gone the extra mile to participate in our programs and meet specific requirements. Some APS rebates and incentives may require specific qualified installers and contractors, such as the AC Rebate and Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Checkup.
We currently qualify installers for solar, battery storage, cooling & heating and electric vehicle charging stations. Qualified contractors are used for a home energy checkup.
If you are approached by an installer, you can always check our qualified technology installer list to see if they participate in one of our programs and have been trained on APS programs and rebates.
Smart thermostats are available at APS Marketplace with rebates of up to $115 per device, not to exceed the MSRP. If you purchased a smart thermostat at APS Marketplace, you may be eligible for free installation with Threshold. Click here to learn more. If you did not purchase your thermostat through the APS Marketplace, you can always call one of our qualified HVAC installers to help install a smart thermostat.
