That is the honest count, not a shortlist we trimmed. CenterPoint Energy money is applied at the point of sale, so it is already inside the number you are quoted rather than something you chase afterwards. Compare quotes on the final price, because one that looks higher may simply not have applied it yet. The rest of Texas is listed underneath for context.
You claim the program that serves your address, not the total. Confirm current terms with each program before counting on an amount.
Standard Offer Program: up to $500/unit.
Run by utilities that do not serve this market. Shown so you can see the whole Texas picture, and because a heat pump outlives most moves. Do not budget against these for a Houston home.

A rebate list is not a price. Your quote sizes the system to Houston's real design day and shows the number before and after everything above.
