Heat Pump Rebate Programs: Pennsylvania
Rebates Through Penn Energy Savers
The PA DEP Penn Energy Savers Program will administer rebates for heat pumps and other high-efficiency appliances and building materials using allocated funding from the Inflation Reduction Act.
PA DEP anticipates launching the Home Electrification & Appliance Rebate (HEAR) Program, which provides point-of-sale rebates on home appliance purchases, in Fall 2025. The Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) Program, which incentivizes whole-home energy retrofits, will likely launch in Winter 2025.
You can sign up for program updates, including program launch announcements, at the Penn Energy Savers website. Contractors who wish to join the Penn Energy Savers Qualified Energy Network can apply to join now at pennenergysavers.com/contractors.
