Tax Credits & Utility Rebates

Federal Tax Credits

Heat pumps

Heat pumps qualify for a tax rebate of 30% of the project cost, with a $2,000 annual cap. Note, this is a tax credit and may not provide a benefit if you are retired and/or do not have income. The tax credit applies to air source heat pumps (a regular heat pump) and heat pump water heaters. The credit is allowed for qualifying property placed in service on or after January 1, 2023, and before January 1, 2033.

Tax Credit Requirements

All items must meet minimum efficiency standards. While the vast majority of items we sell and install meet the criteria, it’s important to verify the specific model number. Our quote should indicate whether your equipment meets the standard. The AHRI website maintains the current list of approved equipment.

FAQs:

I have gas furnace, should I go with a pure heat pump or dual gas/heat pump combo?

This mostly depends on the size of the home. For smaller homes, a pure heat pump system works well and a backup electric strip heater will handle the cold days.

This approach doesn’t work well for larger homes. Therefore, if you forego a gas furnace, you’ll need to select a heat pump capable of operating in cold temperatures. These are much more expensive and the cost increase will exceed the rebate ($2,400). You’re better off foregoing the rebate and installing a dual fuel gas/heat pump combo. In the end, you’ll spend the same and have a much more effective and durable solution.
