Heat pump and HVAC rebates, state by state

Compare published heat-pump and HVAC incentives by state, utility, equipment tier, and project requirements. Start with your state, then verify the controlling program source before you commit.

National context

The 2026 landscape, stated plainly

A project category can be eligible in one utility territory and unsupported across the street. These three layers must be checked separately.

Federal tax credits — ended

25C and 25D both stopped applying to work placed in service after December 31, 2025. Anything installed in 2026 gets no federal residential credit.

State programs — status varies

Some state programs are open, some are partly open, and others have not launched. Each state guide reports its own status and administering source.

Utility programs — local by design

Published offers depend on utility territory, customer class, equipment, timing, contractor rules, and available program budget. Confirm before purchase.
