Connecticut: heat pump & home energy rebates

Our first registry, compiled on September 20, 2026 from secondary sources, listed Connecticut’s federal Home Energy Rebates as not yet open. We have not yet verified that against Connecticut’s energy office, so treat it as unconfirmed and check the official status before you rely on it.

Not yet verified. This entry comes from our first registry (September 20, 2026), not from Connecticut’s official program page. We are re-checking every state against its energy office in batches and will date this page when Connecticut is done. The federal rules below are verified; see our corrections log for why this notice exists.

Federal money, state doors

The federal 25C and 25D tax credits ended December 31, 2025. Federal support now flows only through two rebate programs each state runs itself: HEEHR (High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebates, formerly called HEAR — up to $14,000 per income-qualified household, including up to $8,000 for a heat pump) and HOMES (whole-home rebates based on modeled energy savings, up to $8,000, at any income). Since May 29, 2026, HEEHR pays only for upgrades from existing electric equipment, not for replacing a gas, oil or propane system. Amounts, eligibility and timing in Connecticut are set by the state’s energy office. For the full federal picture, read heat pump tax credit 2026: what replaced it.

How to confirm Connecticut’s status today

The U.S. Department of Energy does not publish a state-by-state status list for the Home Energy Rebates; its program page tells homeowners to contact their state or territory energy office for status and eligibility. Ask Connecticut’s energy office three questions: whether HEEHR (formerly HEAR) and HOMES are accepting applications now, whether your project qualifies under the rules in force since May 29, 2026, and whether a participating contractor must file the rebate. Rebates are generally not paid for work finished before a program launches, so get the answer before you sign. Your electric utility’s efficiency page is the other place to check: utility rebates exist in many states regardless of the federal programs.
