Electric resistance to air-source heat pump conversion rebate

Electric resistance to heat pump rebate

Heat pumps are a great option for homeowners looking to improve year-round comfort:

Heat pumps are just as reliable as other heating systems and can reduce your electricity use by 50% compared to furnaces and baseboard heaters (from energy.gov).
Heat pumps also offer cooling, humidity reduction, and increased air circulation and filtration.
- Depending on the model, you can control your heat pump with a remote, mobile app, or smart thermostat.
Ducted heat pump systems may be able to use the home’s existing ducting.
Ductless heat pump systems, sometimes called mini-splits, are a great option for homes without ducting or with incompatible ducting.

Get a $1,500 rebate when you replace your electric resistance heating system with a qualifying air-source heat pump (ducted or ductless).

See if you qualify for a $2,400 Efficiency Boost rebate based on your income.
