Energy Efficiency Rebates
Thank you for your interest but the rebate program for heat pump hot water heaters is closed as of October 2025. All funds have been allocated. You may be eligible for an additional incentive from your electric utility provider or review the expanded federal tax credits!
Frequently Asked Questions
Heat pump water heaters are ultra efficient and offer several benefits to both save you money and keep you comfortable:
- Warm your water without warming the planet.
- In most cases, heat pump water heaters can lower your energy costs.
- These appliances are powered by electricity and won't create dangerous indoor air quality, unlike leaky methane or propane water heaters.
It depends on your home, power use and the type of fuel that your old heater runs on. On average, customers switching from an electric resistance water heater can expect to save between $200 and $600 annually.
