Heat Pump Rebate Tracker: Every State's Status in 2026

Federal heat pump tax credits (Sections 25C and 25D) expired December 31, 2025. What's left varies dramatically by state. This tracker shows the current status of heat pump rebates and incentives across all 50 states and Washington DC — including IRA-funded HEAR and HOMES programs, utility rebates, and state tax credits. This guide covers every active and pending heat pump incentive program in the United States in 2026. Here's what's actually available.

Updated regularly from state energy offices, utility programs, and official government sources.

Programs and availability may change after these dates.

National Snapshot

As of June 2026, 21 U.S. states have active heat pump rebate programs, while 30 states only offer limited incentives through utilities or pending HEAR/HOMES programs.

"Open" means the state has active, well-funded programs accepting applications. "Limited" means incentives exist but are restricted — utility-only, region-dependent, or HEAR/HOMES haven't launched yet. "Paused" means major programs are suspended or closed.

Why This Tracker Exists

Federal heat pump tax credits ended December 31, 2025. The Section 25C credit (up to $2,000 for heat pumps) and Section 25D credit (30% for geothermal systems) were eliminated by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed July 4, 2025. No federal tax credit is available for heat pump installations in 2026 or later. Full details on the federal credit expiration →

With federal credits gone, state programs, utility rebates, and IRA-funded HEAR and HOMES rebates are the only incentives remaining. But the landscape is fragmented — some states have robust programs worth $10,000 or more, while others have almost nothing. Program availability changes frequently as states launch HEAR/HOMES programs, utility budgets reset, and funding gets exhausted.

This tracker provides a single reference for the current status of heat pump incentives across every U.S. state. All data is verified against official state energy office websites, utility program pages, and IRS guidance. Each state links to a detailed page with specific dollar amounts, stacking scenarios, and application steps.

Key Patterns Across States

HEAR is the biggest variable

States with active HEAR programs offer up to $8,000 per heat pump for households below 150% of Area Median Income. States where HEAR hasn't launched yet are limited to utility rebates only — often $200–$1,500.

Utility rebates are the floor, not the ceiling

Even in states marked "limited," most homeowners can access some utility rebate. The range is wide: from $40 (FPL in Florida) to $5,000 (Puget Sound Energy in Washington). Check your specific utility on the state page.

Income qualification unlocks the largest rebates

Households below 80% AMI can access the highest rebate tiers in most states — often $14,000–$24,000 when stacking HEAR, HOMES, and utility programs. Above 150% AMI, you're typically limited to utility rebates and HOMES only.

How We Verify This Data

Every state page is built from primary sources: state energy office websites, utility rebate program pages, IRS publications, and official program portals. We do not rely on third-party aggregators, blog posts, or outdated databases.

Each page lists its sources with direct links. The "last verified" date on each state page reflects when we last confirmed the information against these sources. Programs that change or expire are updated as we become aware of them.

⚠ This is a reference, not financial advice

Incentive programs can change without notice. Dollar amounts, eligibility rules, and program availability may differ from what's shown here. Always confirm current details with your state energy office, utility provider, and contractor before making purchasing decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which states still have heat pump rebates in 2026?

Most states have some form of heat pump incentive, though availability varies widely. States like Colorado, Maine, New York, Wisconsin, and North Carolina have robust open programs. Others like Texas, Ohio, and Florida have limited or utility-only rebates. Federal tax credits (Sections 25C and 25D) expired December 31, 2025, so state and utility programs are the primary incentives remaining.

What is the HEAR program?

HEAR (Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates) is a federal program funded by the Inflation Reduction Act that provides up to $8,000 per heat pump for income-qualifying households (below 150% of Area Median Income). Each state administers its own HEAR program independently, so launch dates and availability vary.

What happened to the federal heat pump tax credit?

Sections 25C and 25D expired December 31, 2025. Section 25C provided up to $2,000 for heat pump installations. Section 25D covered geothermal systems at 30% of cost. Neither is available for installations in 2026 or later.

How much can I get in heat pump rebates in 2026?

It depends on your state and income level. In states with active HEAR programs, income-qualifying households can receive $8,000 or more. Utility rebates vary widely by provider, from as low as $40 to over $4,000. The best states for stacking multiple programs can reach $10,000–$24,000 in total incentives.

What does "open" vs "limited" vs "paused" mean?

Open means the state has active, well-funded programs accepting applications. Limited means incentives exist but are restricted — either utility-only, region-dependent, partially exhausted, or HEAR/HOMES haven't launched. Paused means major programs have been suspended or closed, though some utility rebates may still be available.

Disclaimer: This tracker covers the main statewide, utility, and IRA heat pump incentives available to U.S. homeowners in 2026. It does not calculate savings, guarantee eligibility, or represent any incentive program. We verify status regularly but programs can change without notice. Always confirm current amounts and eligibility with your state energy office, utility provider, and contractor before making decisions.
