Heat Pump Clothes Dryer Incentive Details
Inflation Reduction Act Heat Pump Clothes Dryer Rebate
The Inflation Reduction Act in Connecticut offers a generous rebate for heat pump clothes dryers to low-income and moderate-income households. The rebate amount depends on the income level:
- For low-income households (under 80% of Area Median Income), the rebate covers 100% of the dryer costs, up to $840.
- For moderate-income households (between 80% and 150% of Area Median Income), the rebate covers 50% of the dryer costs, up to $840.
The program is part of the Electrification Rebates initiative, aimed at promoting energy-efficient appliances.
The Advantages
Upgrading to a heat pump clothes dryer can offer several advantages for homeowners in Connecticut, including:
- Cost savings: Heat pump clothes dryers are more energy-efficient than traditional dryers, which can lead to cost savings on utility bills.
- Environmental benefits: Heat pump clothes dryers do not use fossil fuels and emit less carbon dioxide, making them a more environmentally friendly option.
- Convenient installation: Heat pump clothes dryers do not require venting, which makes them easier to install and allows for more flexibility in placement within the home.
- Rebate incentives: Connecticut offers Electrification Rebates to help offset the cost of upgrading to a heat pump clothes dryer, making it a more affordable option for homeowners.
- Improved indoor air quality: Since heat pump clothes dryers do not release humid air outside, they can help improve indoor air quality by reducing the amount of moisture and pollutants in the air.

The average initial cost of a heat pump clothes dryer varies depending on the brand and model, but they typically range from $800 to $1,500. However, with the Electrification Rebates offered in Connecticut, low-income households can get up to $840 off the cost of the dryer, while moderate-income households can get up to a 50% discount up to $840. This can make the initial cost more affordable for many homeowners.
The average lifetime savings of upgrading to a heat pump clothes dryer will depend on several factors, including the cost of electricity, usage patterns, and the price of the dryer. However, according to the US Department of Energy, a heat pump clothes dryer can save homeowners up to 50% on their energy costs compared to a traditional electric dryer. Over the lifespan of the appliance (10-13 years), this can amount to hundreds of dollars in savings. Assuming that the average household uses a clothes dryer 5 times per week and that the cost of electricity is $0.15 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). A traditional electric dryer might use around 4.4 kWh per load, while a heat pump clothes dryer would use around 2.2 kWh per load. Over the course of a year, this could translate to savings of around $78 per year on electricity costs for the heat pump dryer, compared to the traditional dryer.
