The federal tax credits ended.
Your state rebates didn't.
Since January 2026, the money for heat pumps, insulation and home electrification comes from programs that differ in every state — and change without notice. We track all 51 jurisdictions and verify each one against its official sources — 23 so far, the rest in progress — with a date on every page and every correction logged in public.
Latest verified changes
- Orange & Rockland’s geothermal rebate rose to $18,000 on September 1; its pages still say $14,000
- Upstate New York cut standard heat pump rebates on September 1; NYSEG and RG&E still show “up to $10,000”
- Georgia narrows the HEAR reopening to single-family homes; multifamily will not reopen; webinar October 14
What you'll find here
- Start here: the federal heat pump tax credit ended — here’s what replaced it, including the May 2026 rule change most guides missed.
- Insulation — what insulation pays in 2026 now that the tax credit is gone, and why it comes before a heat pump.
- Deadlines — every verified rebate and tax deadline in one calendar you can subscribe to. Next up: xcel rebate applications due for installs completed before October 1 (October 15, 2026).
- Rebates by state — the index of all 51 jurisdictions: which programs are open, how much they pay and who qualifies. 23 states are verified against official sources so far — Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin — and every other row says plainly that it is not yet verified.
- Corrections — every error we have found and fixed, ours and the market’s, each with its official source. Follow new ones by RSS.
Coming next: what heat pumps, insulation and panel upgrades actually cost installed, before and after incentives; honest comparisons (heat pump vs. furnace, ducted vs. ductless); and the cheap weekend fixes that cut bills before you buy equipment.
How we work
Every number on this site links to its source. Program pages carry a "last verified" date because rebate funding runs out and rules change mid-year. When we haven't confirmed something yet, we say so instead of guessing. Read more about our method.
