To claim the energy optimization rebate:
- Equipment must be installed by a contractor participating in the Energize CT Heat Pump Installer Network.
- Equipment must replace oil, propane, natural gas, or electric baseboard as the primary heating system. If an existing oil, propane, or natural gas system will be left in place, an integrated control must be installed.

Technical Details
- Equipment must be AHRI rated. Heat pumps under 5.4 tons must be on the Qualified Products List. Heat pumps 5.4 tons or greater must meet the minimum requirements on the measure list.
- Tonnage is based on AHRI cooling capacity. (1 ton = 12,000 BTUs). Tonnage is calculated by dividing AHRI cooling capacity by ton and rounding to two decimal places.

- Pre-Approval required for projects totaling more than 20 tons, or more than $30,000 in rebates
