The National Heat Pump Rebate is a new federal grant of $2,000, or up to $10,000 for low- to median-income households, for installing an eligible electric heat pump. It opens through an online portal in early 2027, needs no energy audit, and covers eligible installations from November 1, 2026.
If you are replacing a furnace or air conditioner this winter, the rebate can already apply.
