Utah HVAC Rebates in 2026: What's Real, What Expired

Which HVAC rebates are still active in Utah?

Two programs, two different utilities, and they stack on the right install. Every amount below is "up to" — the exact figure depends on the equipment's rated efficiency — and every amount was checked against the utility's own published 2026 materials on the date above. Utilities can change programs with notice, so treat this as the map, and the utility's application as the law.

Sources: Wattsmart Homes heating & cooling rebates andsmart accessories (Rocky Mountain Power), the official 2026 ThermWise Utah appliance rebate application (Enbridge Gas), and IRS guidance on the 25C expiration. All figures checked August 17, 2026.

The federal heat pump tax credit is gone — here's what happened

The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit paid up to $2,000 on qualifying heat pumps and up to $600 on ACs and furnaces for years. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ended it: equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025 gets nothing. Plenty of HVAC websites still advertise the credit on 2026 installs — some haven't updated, and some are hoping you won't check. Either way, if a bid's math leans on a federal credit this year, the math is wrong. OurUtah cost guide covers what the real numbers look like without it.

Wattsmart heat pump rebates (Rocky Mountain Power)

Wattsmart is the electric side, and in 2026 it's the biggest rebate money on the table: up to $1,700 for ductlessmini-split heat pumps, up to $1,600 for ducted air-source heat pumps, and up to $1,450 for dual-fuel systems, plus up to $75 on a qualifying smart thermostat. The catches worth knowing before you fall in love with a number: the home has to be existing (not new construction), the equipment has to hit the program's efficiency tiers, and the application goes in within 90 days of finishing the job. The rebate check comes from the utility — not from us, and not instantly.

Murray, Bountiful, and Lehi: why your neighbor's rebate doesn't apply to you

Here's the detail most rebate pages skip. Wattsmart is a Rocky Mountain Power program, and three cities we work in every week run their own municipal electric utilities:Murray (Murray City Power),Bountiful (Bountiful City Light & Power), and most of Lehi (Lehi City Power). City power usually means cheaper rates — and no Wattsmart. The thirty-second check: look at whose name is on your electric bill. If it isn't Rocky Mountain Power, don't let anyone sell you a system with a Wattsmart rebate baked into the price.

ThermWise furnace rebates (Enbridge Gas — the utility formerly called Dominion Energy)

If your gas bill still says Dominion in your head, same company — it's Enbridge Gas now. Their 2026 ThermWise appliance rebates pay $300 on anew furnace rated 95–97.4% AFUE and $350 at 97.5% or higher, for existing homes heating with natural gas. The paperwork is stricter than Wattsmart's: the rebate request has to be postmarked within six months of install, and it needs your gas account number plus an itemized invoice showing the model and serial numbers. That invoice detail is exactly what our quotes and invoices include — because a rebate you can't document is a rebate you don't get.

The dual-fuel stack: when both utilities pay on one install

A dual-fuel system pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace — the heat pump handles most of the winter efficiently, and the furnace takes over when a cold snap drops below what the heat pump handles economically. On the right equipment, that one install can qualify for a Wattsmart dual-fuel rebate (up to $1,450) and a ThermWise dual-fuel rebate (up to $1,200), because each utility is paying for savings on its own side of the meter. It's the closest thing 2026 has to the old federal credit — and it's also simply the right setup for a lot of Wasatch Front homes. Whether the stack pencils out depends on your equipment and your utilities, which is exactly what a free estimate is for.

How we handle rebates on a quote

Simply: we check current eligibility on every heat pump and furnace quote instead of printing numbers that go stale, we tell you what your install qualifies for before you sign, and we never bake an assumed rebate into the price to make a bid look cheaper than it is. The rebate is your money, from your utility, on top of an honest price — our posted flat-rate prices live on the specials page, and financing works with or without a rebate check in the mail.

Utah rebate questions, answered straight

Are there still HVAC rebates in Utah in 2026?

Yes — but they come from the utilities now, not the IRS. Rocky Mountain Power's Wattsmart program pays up to $1,700 on qualifying ductless heat pumps, up to $1,600 on air-source heat pumps, and up to $1,450 on dual-fuel systems. Enbridge Gas's ThermWise program pays $300–$350 on high-efficiency furnaces and up to $1,200 on dual-fuel heating systems. Amounts checked August 2026 against both utilities' published materials.

Did the federal heat pump tax credit expire?

Yes. The federal 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit — up to $2,000 on qualifying heat pumps — expired December 31, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Equipment installed in 2026 does not qualify, no matter what a sales flyer says. Utility rebates (Wattsmart, ThermWise) are unaffected and remain active.

Does Wattsmart apply in Murray, Bountiful, or Lehi?

Generally no. Wattsmart is a Rocky Mountain Power program, and Murray, Bountiful, and most of Lehi run their own municipal electric utilities — Murray City Power, Bountiful City Light & Power, and Lehi City Power. If your power bill doesn't say Rocky Mountain Power, Wattsmart doesn't apply. Gas-side ThermWise rebates still work in all three cities, because nearly everyone is on Enbridge Gas.

How do I apply for a Wattsmart rebate?

Applications go through the Wattsmart Homes portal within 90 days of project completion, and the equipment has to meet the program's efficiency requirements. You'll need your Rocky Mountain Power account information and the installed equipment details (AHRI-rated model information from your invoice). We flag what a quoted system qualifies for so you know before you sign.

Is there still a rebate for a new gas furnace?

Yes. Enbridge Gas's 2026 ThermWise appliance rebate pays $300 on furnaces rated 95–97.4% AFUE and $350 at 97.5% or higher, for existing homes with gas heat on a GS rate schedule. The rebate request must be postmarked within six months of installation, and the application needs your itemized invoice with model and serial numbers.
