Heat Pump Incentives & Costs

Heat pumps are highly efficient heating and cooling systems that can significantly reduce your energy consumption and lower your utility bills. Additionally, qualifying households have access to financial assistance for purchasing and installing heat pumps. Let’s delve into the heat pump rebates that are available for different income groups:

• Low-Income Households: If you earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income, you are eligible for full cost coverage of your heat pump, up to a maximum of $8,000. These generous heat pump savings aim to make energy-efficient home heating accessible to those facing financial constraints.
• Moderate-Income Households: For those earning between 80 percent and 150 percent of the Area Median Income, rebates can cover 50 percent of heat pump costs, which is again up to a maximum of $8,000. These heat pump rebates are a significant benefit for families and individuals seeking to enhance their homes’ sustainability.

It’s important to note that rebate amounts and eligibility requirements may vary between states.

Are you looking for an affordable and reliable way to heat water in your household? Do you want to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a better environment? There are also financial incentives for low and moderate-income households to switch to heat pump water heaters (HPWHs), which are more efficient and eco-friendly than conventional models.

• Low-Income Households: Low-income households (with incomes below 80 percent of the Area Median Income) can qualify for full coverage of their HPWH costs, which is up to $1,750.
• Moderate-Income Households: Those with moderate-income households (with incomes between 80 and 150 percent of the Area Median Income) can receive up to 50 percent coverage of their HPWH costs, which is also up to $1,750.

Not only do these rebates help you save money on your water heating bills, but they also support the transition to cleaner energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By participating in this program, you can make a tangible impact on your local community and the planet as a whole.

The IRA has implemented the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, otherwise known as Section 25C, to incentivize households to invest in eco-friendly heating technology. This credit enables homeowners to enjoy a 30 percent tax reduction on heat pumps and heat pump water heaters, capped at a maximum of $2,000 per year. The good news is that this credit resets on a yearly basis, effectively offering households the chance to claim the benefits of the credit again for additional home improvement projects. 

Aside from the substantial savings offered through rebates, heat pump installations also come with attractive tax benefits. By switching to a high-efficiency electric heat pump, you can enjoy federal tax credits and rebates, reducing your overall tax liability. These heat pump tax breaks encourage homeowners to adopt greener and more sustainable heating systems while simultaneously saving money.
