Heat Pump Water Heater Incentive Details
Inflation Reduction Act Heat Pump Water Heater Rebate
The Inflation Reduction Act rebate for heat pump water heaters in Connecticut provides an upfront discount of up to $1,750, depending on income level.
For low-income households (under 80 percent of Area Median Income), the rebate covers 100 percent of the heat pump water heater costs, up to $1,750.
For moderate-income households (between 80 percent and 150 percent of Area Median Income), the rebate covers 50 percent of the costs, also up to $1,750.
The aim of the program is to promote the use of heat pump water heaters, which are more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly compared to traditional systems, providing benefits such as dehumidified air and reduced mold.
Tax Credits
The Inflation Reduction Act includes the 25C tax credit, allowing Connecticut residents to claim a 30% credit, capped at $2,000 per year, on the cost of purchasing and installing heat pump water heaters. The tax credit provided by 25C is applicable on an annual basis, meaning that homeowners can claim the credit each year for eligible projects. This provision allows homeowners to take advantage of the credit for multiple heat pump water heater installations or replacements over time.
In addition to the tax credit for heat pump water heaters, the 25C provision also offers a 30% tax credit of up to $600 for an electrical panel upgrade. However, this credit is only available if the electrical panel upgrade is performed in conjunction with another upgrade covered by 25C, such as a heat pump water heater installation. This means that homeowners may find it beneficial to complete both upgrades simultaneously in order to maximize their tax benefits.
The Advantages
Upgrading to a heat pump water heater in Connecticut offers several advantages for homeowners, including:
- Energy efficiency: Heat pump water heaters are 2-3 times more efficient than traditional water heaters, leading to significant savings on utility bills.
- Cost savings: The Electrification Rebates and tax credits available for heat pump water heaters can help offset the upfront cost of installation, making it a more affordable option for homeowners.
- Environmental benefits: Heat pump water heaters are better for the environment as they do not use fossil fuels and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions. They also do not contribute to damaging methane leaks, which is a significant concern with gas water heaters.
- Improved technology: With the launch of the first 120-volt HPWHs, installation costs are lower, and there is more potential for future cost savings as more efficient models become available.
Overall, upgrading to a heat pump water heater offers homeowners in Connecticut a way to reduce their environmental impact, save money, and enjoy the benefits of advanced technology.
