Common questions

How much is a federal HEAR heat pump rebate in 2026?

HEAR caps heat pump space heating and cooling at up to $8,000 for qualifying low- and moderate-income households where the state program is active, subject to the $14,000 household cap and official approval.

Why do heat pump rebate amounts differ by state?

Federal caps are national, but state launch status, utility territories, income verification, contractor lists, and reservation timing change what homeowners can actually claim.

Should I use this guide or the heat pump rebate calculator?

Use this guide to pick your state and official portals first. Use the heat pump rebate calculator to model income-tier HEAR amounts and compare 2025 versus 2026 tax-credit timing before requesting quotes.

Why do Massachusetts and Colorado need extra checks before a heat pump quote?

Mass Save sets heat pump rebate tiers and assessment rules; Colorado requires HEAR region checks and contractor reservations before work starts. Both differ from states where only federal caps need modeling.
