Questions about heat pump rebates
What's the difference between ducted and ductless heat pumps?
A ducted heat pump distributes air through existing ductwork, just like a central AC or furnace. A ductless (mini-split) system uses wall-mounted indoor units and is great for homes without ducts or for targeted heating and cooling.
What do the tiers mean for heat pump water heaters?
The NEEA Tiers (1–4) reflect different efficiency levels and performance features. Tier 3 and 4 models are the most efficient and typically eligible for higher rebates. They offer more energy savings over time.
Can I get multiple rebates if I upgrade more than one system?
Yes! As long as each product qualifies and you follow the documentation rules, you can bundle rebates across water heating, HVAC, appliances, and service upgrades. Give us a call to find out how you can maximize your rebates: (888) 586-3343
year Electric panel upgrade rebates
| Electrification Service | Rebate Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy-Up (Panel Upgrade to 200 Amps) | $2,000 | Must be paired with gas-to-electric HVAC or water heater replacement |
| Electrical Circuit Upgrade or Addition | $400 per circuit | Up to 3 per home; must support qualifying electrification equipment |
FAQ: Panel rebates
What is a “heavy-up,” and why would I need one?
A “heavy-up” is an upgrade to your home’s main electrical panel—usually boosting it to 200 amps. It ensures your home can safely support new electric appliances like heat pumps, water heaters, and induction stoves.
When does a heavy-up qualify for a rebate?
You must be replacing gas or oil heating or water heating equipment with a heat pump or heat pump water heater. Without that switch, the $2,000 panel rebate doesn’t apply.
What are circuit rebates, and what qualifies?
If your new electric appliances (like a heat pump dryer or induction stove) need new or upgraded circuits, you can get $400 per circuit, up to 3 per home. Again, you must be replacing gas or oil equipment to qualify.
Can I get both a heavy-up and circuit rebates on the same project?
Yes, if your upgrade involves a qualifying switch from gas to electric, and both the panel and circuits are needed to support the new equipment.
year Stove and Dryer Rebates
| Qualifying Product | Qualified Source | Efficiency Level / Technology | Electric-to-Electric Rebate | Gas-to-Electric Rebate |

| Electric Stovetop | ENERGY STAR | Coil or Radiant | $400 | $600 |
| Induction Stovetop | ENERGY STAR | Induction | $600 | $800 |
| Induction Range | ENERGY STAR | Induction | $600 | $800 |
| Conventional Electric Clothes Dryer | ENERGY STAR | ENERGY STAR Certified | $175 | $275 |
| Electric Heat Pump Clothes Dryer | ENERGY STAR | ENERGY STAR Most Efficient | $400 | $600 |
More about stove and dryer rebates
What’s the difference between an electric range and an induction cooktop?
An electric range uses coil or radiant heat to cook. An induction cooktop uses magnetic fields to heat pans directly—it’s faster, more precise, and doesn’t heat the cooktop surface itself.
What kind of dryers qualify?
There are two:
- Conventional electric dryers (ENERGY STAR Certified)
- Heat pump dryers (ENERGY STAR Most Efficient)
Heat pump dryers are more efficient and qualify for higher rebates.
Do I need to install a new electrical circuit?
Possibly. If your new appliance needs a dedicated circuit, you may qualify for an additional $400 rebate per circuit (up to 3). Give us a call to find out for you: (888) 586-3343
