Ducted heat pump rebate
Active Inland Power & Light members can receive $1,560 for an eligible electric-furnace conversion or $600 for qualifying new or replacement ducted heat pumps in its Washington and Idaho service territory.
Esta oportunidad está disponible actualmente en inglés.
The rebate helps pay for a qualifying variable-speed ducted heat pump, which distributes heating through air ducts. Converting from an electric forced-air furnace to an eligible variable-capacity model receives $1,560. New construction, replacement and qualifying upgrades receive $600; replacement is limited to the first replacement. Your payment cannot exceed the invoiced cost, and there is a limit of one rebate per household.
The $600 upgrade situations include replacing an existing heat pump or ductless mini-split; installing a variable-speed heat pump in single-family new construction or an existing single-family or manufactured home with no previous primary heating system; adding one to a gas, oil, propane or wood heating system; and replacing room-by-room electric heating, including systems that circulate heated water without air ducts. If your home is heated by circulating hot water, the application treats an electric resistance water heater as equivalent to an electric furnace.
Choose a check or credit to your electricity account. If your account is past due, Inland Power applies the rebate to that overdue balance. Allow four to six weeks for processing.
Eligibility
- You must be an active Inland Power & Light member. Its electricity territory covers parts of 13 counties in eastern Washington and northern Idaho; other utilities also serve portions of the mapped area.
- The installation must qualify under the new-construction, existing single-family or manufactured-home routes. New and existing manufactured homes must have been assembled after 1977.
- Use an Inland Power Contractor Network installer approved by the NW HVAC Association. If your contractor is not on Inland’s preferred list, call its conservation team at (509) 789-1801. Homeowner installations do not qualify. The contractor network provides a two-year warranty for proper operation from installation.
- The new air-source heat pump must have AHRI performance certification and a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) of at least 9.0, or HSPF2 of at least 7.6. These are the heating-efficiency ratings to check on the contractor-provided AHRI certificate. The unit must also be ENERGY STAR qualified and meet federal high-efficiency heat-pump standards. Manufacturer claims that equipment is “equivalent” to AHRI-certified equipment are not accepted.
- You cannot claim this rebate together with another heat-pump measure. Comply with applicable codes and regulations; Inland Power may arrange an installation inspection.
