Rebates & Incentives.
Save thousands with state rebates and local utility incentives on qualifying ductless mini-split systems.
Up to $8,000 in State Rebates
IRA-funded HOMES and HEAR rebate programs offer significant savings on heat pump installations. Check your state's availability.
Important Update: Federal 25C Tax Credit
The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) for heat pumps expired on December 31, 2025. If you installed a qualifying system in 2025 or earlier, you can still claim the credit on that year's tax return. For 2026 installations, state HOMES rebates and local utility incentives are the primary savings opportunities.
