Heat Pump Rebates 2026: Open Programs | HeatPumpAtlasUSA

Rebates and incentives

Heat pump rebates still open in 2026

Heat pump rebates only count if the program is accepting applications. A $10,000 program that has stopped taking reservations is worth zero, and several of the largest US programs have done exactly that.

DSIRE lists thousands of incentives. This page answers a narrower question: is the program taking applications this week? Only programs marked open go into the calculator. The federal 25C credit ended after 31 December 2025. If a quote still includes it, subtract it.

Programs we have not yet covered

We add programs as we can verify them, not as we find them.

There are active heat pump programs in most US states, including several we do not yet track in detail. If your state is not listed, the reliable path is your state energy office and your utility, in that order. The state office administers the federal money and the utility runs the equipment rebate.

If you think we are missing a significant program, tell us and we will verify it. Corrections are welcome and we record them on the methodology page.

Frequently asked questions

Why do you only track a handful of programs?
Because accuracy beats coverage. Programs change status, exhaust funding and revise amounts faster than any automated feed we evaluated can keep up with, and publishing a stale rebate as available is worse than publishing fewer programs. We track a focused list, verify each one, and record a status and a verification date. If a program is paused or reserved, we say so and exclude it from your calculator total.
Are these amounts guaranteed?
No. Every amount on this site is our best reading of the published program terms at the date shown, and program terms change. Several of the largest programs now require a reservation or a commitment letter before work begins, and applying after installation can make a project ineligible. Treat these figures as a planning input and confirm the current amount with the program before you sign a contract.
What happened to the federal 25C tax credit?
The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit applied to qualifying heat pumps placed in service through 31 December 2025. For equipment installed in 2026 it is not available. Some official pages still describe the credit as current, which is a real source of confusion. What survived is the state-administered HEAR and HOMES rebate programs, which were created separately and are still funded in many states.
What are HEAR and HOMES?
Two federally funded, state-administered rebate programs created by the Inflation Reduction Act. HEEHRA, usually shortened to HEAR, funds efficient electric appliances including heat pumps and is income-qualified. HOMES funds whole-home energy retrofits based on measured or modelled savings. States applied for funding independently and launched at very different times, which is why the map is uneven.
Why do some states have nothing?
Because the programs are run by state energy offices, and some states have not launched consumer-facing portals despite accepting funding. Others launched, exhausted their initial allocation and paused. Texas, Florida and other southeastern states have been slowest to launch. It is a policy difference, not a data gap on our side.
Can I stack programs?
Sometimes, and the rules are specific to each combination. Colorado and Massachusetts both have stackable structures. The general principle is that federal money and state or utility money can often combine, but two programs funding the same measure sometimes cannot. Confirm the specific stack with the program and your contractor before you assume a total.
