All about the Inflation Reduction Act
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provides a number of rebates and incentives for homeowners who install heat pumps in their homes. These rebates and incentives are designed to make heat pumps more affordable for homeowners and to encourage more people to switch to heat pumps from traditional heating and cooling systems. These include:
A rebate of up to $7,000 for the purchase and installation of a heat pump for low- and moderate-income households.
A rebate of up to $4,000 for the purchase and installation of a heat pump for households that need to make electrical upgrades to their homes to accommodate a heat pump.
These rebates and incentives are available to homeowners who purchase and install a heat pump in their homes between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2032. The rebate amount will vary depending on the heat pump you purchase and the income of your household.
We still do not know if or when these rebates will be released in WA. We’re waiting on the Federal Department of Energy to approve WA’s program, and we’ve been waiting for a while now. The current federal administration is very antagonistic to the Inflation Reduction Act, and clean energy in general, so we are not sure if they will ever approve WA’s plan. Join our list to stay informed about when those rebates will be available, or learn more about the status of these rebates in Washington at the Department of Commerce’s IRA rebates website.
