$8.8 billionset aside for state home energy rebates; the federal heat pump tax credit ended after 2025

Congress set aside $8.8 billion for state-run home energy rebates ($4.3 billion HOMES and $4.5 billion for the high-efficiency electric rebates, HEAR). The federal heat pump tax credit (25C, up to $2,000) ended for equipment placed in service after 31 Dec 2025. DOE says rebates are open only "in select states", and the Building Performance Association counted 12 states plus DC launched by June 2026; the per-state status below is an older third-party snapshot (19 Sep 2025), so check your state energy office before you plan around it. On fuel cost alone a heat pump beats gas in 17 of 45 states with data, by up to $678 a year in Hawaii; in Alaska it costs $616 more.

What changed at the federal level

The federal tax credits for heat pumps (25C, 30% up to $2,000 a year) and solar, geothermal and batteries (25D, 30%) do not apply to equipment installed after 31 December 2025. Only 25D carry-forward of unused credit remains. The state rebates below are separate and income-tested; the rules and caps are set out on the federal page.

Does a heat pump repay itself? Try your numbers

Enter the extra cost of a heat pump over what you would otherwise install and the rebates you expect. The result uses only fuel savings from the table, for a home that needs 50 MMBtu of heat a year.

    Savings and climate

    Across 42 states the correlation between heating degree-days and the heat pump saving is r = -0.65. Cold states have more heat to deliver, but prices decide the sign. It describes how the two move together, not why.

    How we counted and what is missing

    Allocation: the National Housing Trust tracker dated 19 Sep 2025 lists each state's combined HEAR and HOMES allocation in rounded millions of dollars; Idaho is missing from it and South Dakota did not apply. DOE's own page has no state table or date. Status wording is the tracker's, 13 places show "rebates available" in it, and it is more than a year old, so it is not today's status. Per home account = allocation divided by EIA-861 2024 home accounts of the state. Heat pump saving = (gas furnace cost minus heat pump cost per MMBtu of delivered heat) times 50 MMBtu of heat a year, with EIA 2025 prices, a 95% furnace, and a seasonal COP of 3.0: the assumptions of our heat pump ranking. It is fuel cost only: no equipment price, installation, cooling, or propane and oil homes, and 6 places have no gas price. Years to repay uses the extra cost you type or $1,000 in the table, and ignores interest and price changes.

    Questions

    Is there still a federal tax credit for a heat pump?

    Not for equipment installed in 2026. Work finished in 2025 can still be claimed on the 2025 return; the detail is on the federal credits page.

    What happened to the 25D credit for geothermal heat pumps and solar?

    Same cut-off. Only unused credit from earlier years can be carried forward.

    What are the IRA home energy rebates?

    Two state-run programs funded with $8.8 billion: HOMES ($4.3 billion) pays for measured or modelled whole-home energy savings, and HEAR, now called HEEHR ($4.5 billion), pays for electric appliances such as heat pumps, with income limits.

    Who qualifies for HEAR rebates?

    Households below 80% of area median income can receive 100% of project cost and households from 80% to 150% receive 50%, up to $14,000 per household and $8,000 for a space heat pump under the statute.

    Is my state's program open?

    DOE's page says only that rebates are available in select states; the Building Performance Association counted twelve states and DC launched in June 2026. Our table shows a 19 Sep 2025 snapshot, so confirm with your state energy office or DSIRE.

    Which states have the largest allocation?

    By total dollars Texas and California; per home account Alaska leads at $251 and Florida is lowest at $33, from the tracker's rounded totals.

    Does a heat pump save money on fuel?

    In 17 of 45 states with a gas price, yes, at a seasonal COP of 3.0, 95% furnace and EIA 2025 prices. The saving runs from $678 a year in Hawaii to -616 in Alaska for a home that needs 50 MMBtu of heat.

    Why not publish a page for every state?

    The state-specific facts we can verify are one allocation, one status line from an older snapshot and our own fuel-cost model. They fit in one sortable table; separate pages would repeat the same text without adding information.

    Where can I find utility rebates?

    ENERGY STAR's rebate finder and DSIRE list utility and state offers by ZIP code. We link to them but do not copy their listings.
