Heat Pump Incentives & Costs
Energy-efficiency rebates and tax credits for Cincinnati and surrounding areas — plus a plain-English look at what a new system really costs.
A heat pump heats and cools your home from one efficient system, and right now federal rebates and tax credits can cover a meaningful share of the cost. Here is how the savings work and how we help you claim them.
Heat pumps are highly efficient heating and cooling systems that can cut your energy use and lower your utility bills. On top of those savings, qualifying households can tap into financial assistance toward buying and installing one. Here is how the rebates break down by income:
- Low-Income Households: Earning less than 80% of your Area Median Income may qualify for full coverage of a new heat pump, up to $8,000.
- Moderate-Income Households: Earning between 80% and 150% of Area Median Income may qualify for up to 50% of the cost, up to $8,000.
Rebate amounts and eligibility rules can vary by state and program.
Looking for an affordable, eco-friendly way to heat your water? Low- and moderate-income households can also get help switching to a heat pump water heater (HPWH), which is more efficient than a conventional model.
- Low-Income Households: Below 80% of Area Median Income may qualify for full coverage of HPWH costs, up to $1,750.
- Moderate-Income Households: Between 80% and 150% of Area Median Income may receive up to 50% coverage, up to $1,750.
Beyond the savings, these rebates support cleaner energy and lower greenhouse gas emissions, so you make a real impact on your community and the planet.
Beyond rebates, a high-efficiency electric heat pump can earn federal tax credits that reduce your overall tax liability while you move to a greener, more sustainable system.
The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) lets homeowners claim 30% back on qualifying heat pumps and heat pump water heaters, capped at $2,000 per year. Because the credit resets each year, you can claim it again for future home-improvement projects. Always confirm the details with a tax professional.

In Their Own Words
Video Testimonials
Matthew
Sedamsville, OH
“I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone at Cincy Degree of Comfort for the outstanding work you did at my home. After a roof leak caused water to reach the wiring connected to a hallway light fixture, I realized I had a serious electrical problem. I found Cincy Degree of Comfort online, and they responded quickly. They repaired the old damaged wiring at a very fair price, explained everything clearly, and cleaned up before leaving. I can’t say enough good things about the team. They did an excellent job, and I truly believe they helped prevent a much bigger problem. I’d gladly recommend them to all my friends and family. Thank you again for your professionalism and for helping keep my home safe.”
