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.
