How to get started
Check Eligibility

Efficiency First: Before installing a heat pump, weatherize your building to enhance comfort, reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, and improve equipment efficiency and lifespan.
Technical Details
- Equipment must be AHRI rated and 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.
- The qualifying EER and BTUs are based on the equipment’s Ground-Loop Heat Pump “GLHP” ratings listed by AHRI regardless of the install type
For Pre-Approval on Energy Optimization Rebates:
- Projects totaling more than 20 tons or $30,000 in rebates require pre-approval.
- Projects totaling greater than 150 tons will be evaluated independent of this prescriptive rebate format and a custom rebate will be applied
