Rebate Center
This hub is built for homeowners, DIY-capable shoppers, licensed contractors, property managers, and light commercial buyers who want clear guidance on incentives. Use it to identify eligible programs in your area, understand requirements, and organize what you need to claim rebates on qualifying equipment.
Typical qualifying upgrades include high-efficiency heat pumps, central air systems, gas furnaces, ductless mini splits, and smart controls. Programs often reference efficiency metrics such as SEER2 and HSPF2 for heat pumps and ACs, as well as BTUs/tonnage and the system’s refrigerant type when determining eligibility. Professional installation is commonly required, and some rebates also consider permitted work and commissioning documentation for light commercial RTUs or split systems.
How it works: confirm eligibility by ZIP, match your model numbers, estimate savings, then complete and submit your forms within the program window. Keep your itemized invoice, AHRI certificate, serial numbers, and permits ready. Many customers combine utility rebates, manufacturer promotions, and applicable federal tax credits for maximum value-always follow each program’s rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I find HVAC rebates available in my zip code?
Use the tools provided in this Rebate Center to search by ZIP. You can also check your local utility’s program list and compare it to your planned equipment.
-
What documentation is required to submit a rebate claim?
Most programs ask for an itemized invoice with model and serial numbers, an AHRI certificate, installation permit (when required), completed application, and sometimes photos or a W-9.
-
Do rebates apply to both equipment and installation costs?
It depends. Many utility rebates cover qualifying equipment and sometimes labor; manufacturer rebates usually apply to equipment only. Always review each program’s terms.
-
Which HVAC upgrades typically qualify for rebates (heat pumps, furnaces, mini splits)?
High-efficiency heat pumps (including mini splits), central AC, high-AFUE gas furnaces, dual-fuel systems, and smart thermostats are commonly eligible.
-
How long does it take to receive a rebate after submission?
Processing typically takes 4-12 weeks depending on the season and program volume. Keep copies of all documents and track your submission if a status tool is provided.
-
Can rebates be combined with federal tax credits or utility incentives?
Often yes. Many programs allow stacking with federal tax credits and manufacturer offers, but you cannot claim the same measure twice. Confirm each program’s rules.
-
Do I need a licensed contractor installation to qualify for rebates?
Usually. Most utility and manufacturer programs require licensed installation and, where applicable, a permit. DIY installs may not qualify except for certain controls.
-
What efficiency ratings are commonly required to qualify for rebates?
Programs frequently specify SEER2 and HSPF2 thresholds for heat pumps/AC, and AFUE for furnaces. Check BTU/tonnage limits and acceptable refrigerants per program.
-
How do I estimate savings on qualifying HVAC purchases?
Compare the listed rebate amount to your equipment cost and factor in energy bill reduction from higher SEER2/HSPF2 ratings. Many programs provide calculator guidelines.
-
Are light commercial projects eligible for rebates?
Yes, many utilities offer incentives for small business/light commercial systems such as RTUs and ductless heat pumps. Pre-approval and commissioning may be required.
