Residential HVAC Incentive

HVAC Incentive Form

Air Source heat pumps can mean substantial savings for energy-wise consumers. If you’re considering replacing your existing fossil fuel system, replacing a non-air source heat pump or other resistant electric system or planning to build a new home, investigate this program.

Air- Source Heat Pump or Dual Fuel

Install an all electric air-to-air heat pump in a new home, replace your existing electric air-to-air heat pump or replace your fossil fuel heating system and receive:

• $750 rebate
• • Multi-speed compressor
  • Air-Conditioning Heating Refrigeration Institute (AHRI)- matched system
  • Seasonal Energy Ration (SEER) ≥ 16, Energy Efficiency Ration (EER) ≥ 10
  • Must provide corresponding AHRI certificate

Replacing 100% Electric resistance Heat – Air-Source Heat Pump or Dual-Fuel

Replace an existing 100% electric resistance heat system (i.e. baseboard, ceiling cable or 100% electric furnace) with an air-to-air heat pump with electric or gas back-up and receive:

• Single-speed compressor air-source heat pump (ASHP) incentive: $800 rebate
• Dual/variable/multi-speed air source heat pump (ASHP) incentive: $1,500 rebate
  • Unit must replace whole-home electric resistance with no supplemental heat.
    • Examples of non-qualifying replacement include electric space heaters and heat pumps only operating on electric resistance.
  • Traditional stick-built and modular housing
    • ASHP ≥16 SEER
  • Manufactured housing
    • ASHP ≥14 SEER
  • Must provide corresponding AHRI certificate

Whole-Home Mini-Split Heat Pump (MSHP)

• Replace existing A/C, heat pump or new construction incentive: $750 rebate
• Replace electric resistance heat incentive: $1,500 rebate
  • Whole-home heating and cooling installations
  • Multi-speed compressor
  • AHRI-matched system
  • SEER ≥ 19, EER ≥ 12.5
  • Must provide corresponding AHRI certificate

Single-Room Mini-Spit Heat Pump (SRMSHP)

• $300 rebate
  • Single room additions and outbuildings
  • Multi-speed compressor
  • AHRI-matched system
  • SEER ≥ 19, EER ≥ 12.5
  • Must provide corresponding AHRI certificate

Geothermal Heat Pump

• $1,500 rebate
  • Desuperheater or hot water assist is suggested, but not required, for new installation geothermal systems when an electric resistance water heater is utilized.

Requirements To Qualify for This Program:

• Must be installed in Bartholomew County REMC service area.
• Must show proof of sale, serial and model numbers, size of unit and kw backup. Compressor speed and SEER rating must be validated on the customer’s bill-of-sale. AHRI certificate stating HSPF is required.

* REMC personnel retain the option to verify installation.
