As the US accelerates its transition toward clean energy, heat pumps have become a key solution for both residential and commercial heating and cooling. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and state-level programs, there’s never been a better time to invest in an energy-efficient air source or ground source heat pump.
In this guide, we break down heat pump incentives by state—covering rebates, tax credits, and utility programs across the country in 2025.
Heat pumps can reduce home energy use by up to 50%, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and support decarbonization goals. Governments and utilities offer incentives to:
Lower installation costs for homeowners
Encourage electrification of heating
Support net-zero and climate goals

Before diving into the state-specific breakdown, here are the nationwide programs available:
