New Tool Aids Customers in Reducing Equipment Costs

August 7, 2024

The initial cost for new heat pump equipment can be substantial. Finding and navigating credits, rebates, and other offers can be overwhelming for contractors and customers – but it’s key to making the equipment more affordable and attractive for purchase.

To assist with those in-person customer conversations and creating bids, ENERGY STAR has launched a simple web tool that uses a zip code search to highlight utility rebates and federal tax credits. It will also include state rebates for home efficiency improvements once they become available.
