Heat Pumps
Holland BPW offers rebates for air source heat pumps that meet cold climate heating efficiency requirements. Rebate amounts are based on tonnage, and type of additional heat sources in the home. To qualify, the heat pump must be the main heating and cooling system. Pre-approval is recommended.
There are two types of rebates for heat pumps, depending on any additional heat sources in the home.
The all-electric home heating rebate is available for homes with heat pumps as the sole source of heating and cooling. New or existing back-up heat sources must be electric.
Homes with new or existing non-electric heat sources, such as a furnace, to supplement the heat pump system are eligible for the dual-fuel rebate, provided the heat pump system is the primary method of heating and cooling the space.
Measure | Specifications | Rebate Amount |
|---|---|---|
Air Source Heat Pump - All Electric | HSPF2 ≥ 8.5, heat pump is the primary method of heating and cooling the home and any additional heat sources in the home are electric | $1,000 per ton |
Air Source Heat Pump - Dual-Fuel | HSPF2 ≥ 8.5, heat pump is the primary method of heating and cooling the space and additional heat sources in the home are non-electric | $500 per ton |
Heat Pump HVAC rebates are available for residential dwelling spaces only. Non-eligible spaces include spaces that are not used as a dwelling space, such as a garage, hobby space, or outbuilding. ADUs may qualify if they meet the following: a) occupied full-time b) include a full bathroom and fully functioning kitchen c) separate ventilation from the primary dwelling.

AC and Heat Pump Tune-Up
Get ready for the summer or winter and get $25 for your tune-up! A tune-up is a cleaning and inspection of the indoor and outdoor coil. This includes cleaning or replacement of air filter, inspection and lubrication of blower, cleaning/inspection and lubrication of motors, checking/adjusting the refrigerant, confirmation of proper airflow, checking condensate drain, cleaning debris from and around the condenser, and performing visual inspection of entire system.
Limit 1 AC tune-up per household per year.
Limit 1 heat pump tune-up per cooling season and one per heating season.
Please include your inspection/tune-up list from your contractor when you apply for a rebate.
Upsizing an Electric Panel
If switching your heat pump water heater from gas to electric requires you to upgrade your electric panel, we have a rebate for that too. Get a rebate of $1,000 for eligible panel upsizing projects.
Applying for a Rebate
What Documents Do I Need to Apply?
To complete our online application, you will need:
- Invoice/receipts indicating the make, model, payment in full and date of purchase for each item receiving a rebate.
- AHRI certificate

Where Can I Find the Specifications?
The specifications for your heat pump or central AC system can be found in your AHRI certificate.

You can find your AHRI certificate through the online AHRI Directory. The metrics we watch to measure efficiency are:
- HSPF2 – Measures heating efficiency
- SEER2 – Measures cooling efficiency
