The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 6 figures, never sentences; 13 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per authority per figure - the South-region SEER2 minimum a Texas install must meet, the federal credit and its caps with the dates it applied, and each Texas utility's rebate with its efficiency condition - joined into the NET Texas price: the installed index minus every incentive the buyer's metro qualifies for. Nobody publishes the net; every publisher of a rebate publishes only its own. Changed-since is the news, and the 25C expiry at the end of 2025 is the first entry in that series.", "embed": "
