Heat Pump Rebates by State — 2026
Federal and state rebate programs for heat pump installation. Each figure is the conservative available-now maximum computed for that state — the same number shown on the state's own page. IRA 25C expired Dec 31, 2025 and is excluded.
Federal rebate rules changed May 29, 2026
The federal program (now HEEHR, formerly HEAR/HEEHRA) no longer covers fuel-switching: converting a gas, oil, or propane furnace to a heat pump does NOT qualify. Rebates now apply only to upgrading existing electric heating/cooling equipment and new construction, and insulation/air-sealing may be required first. States must comply by late August 2026 — a few still accept fuel-switching applications for days, not months (Georgia until Aug 10, 2026). If you heat with gas today, check state and utility programs instead.

Estimated maximums combine the federal HEEHR heat pump cap ($8,000, income-qualified, electric-to-electric only since May 2026) with the best single state or utility program — they are stacking estimates, not a single program's payout. Programs change frequently — verify current availability with your state energy office or utility before applying. Each state page lists its program sources and the date that state's data was last verified. IRA Section 25C tax credit expired December 31, 2025 and is not included. Status data re-verified 2026-08-02; a weekly monitor watches key program pages for changes.
