A heat pump is a single electric appliance that can replace both your traditional air conditioner and home heating system, like a furnace or boiler.
Up to $8,000
Heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) are similar to heat pumps for space heating, except they produce hot water instead of hot air.
Up to $1,750
Upgraded electrical panels themselves won’t save you money, but they will enable other upgrades — like heat pumps and electric vehicles — that will save you money!
Up to $4,000
Electrical wiring is a critical enabling step for whole-home electrification. While some electric appliances can plug into a normal outlet, many others require 240V outlets. This is especially important for EV chargers, induction stoves, and most heat pumps and heat pump water heaters.
Up to $2,500
The term “electric stove” (or “range” or “cooktop”) includes both traditional electric resistance stoves and modern electric induction stoves. These technologies are quite different, but what matters is that neither burns methane gas inside your home to create heat.
Up to $840
Like heat pumps for space and water heating, heat pump clothes dryers are more efficient than their traditional counterparts, which translates to utility bill savings — and they don't burn fossil fuels!
Up to $840
Weatherization refers to a series of steps you can take to reduce the amount of energy required to heat and cool your home. Weatherization may involve air sealing, insulation, door and window upgrades, and ventilation improvements.
