Georgia Heat Pump Rebates & Incentives (2026)
Homeowners in Georgia can stack state and utility incentives to cut the cost of a heat pump. Here's what's available now and how to claim it.
Federal tax credit status (2026 update)
Important: the federal 25C (air-source) and 25D (geothermal) heat pump tax credits expired on December 31, 2025 and are not available in 2026. Income-qualified HEEHRA point-of-sale rebates run through individual state programs, but funding in many states is limited or already reserved — check your state's current status. Your most reliable savings now come from the Georgia state and utility rebates below.
Georgia state & utility rebates
Georgia Power rebates. Programs and amounts change frequently — confirm current offers with your utility and the Georgia state energy office before purchasing. With the federal credit gone, these are now the primary heat pump incentives.
How to claim them (in order)
- Check eligibility & status first. Many Georgia utility rebates require pre-approval and a qualifying ENERGY STAR model — and some run out of funding, so confirm the program is active before you buy.
- Use a participating installer. Point-of-sale rebates are often applied at purchase by an approved contractor, so you pay less up front.
- Keep documentation. Save the AHRI certificate, invoice and model numbers — utilities require them for the rebate.
- Submit before the deadline. Most Georgia rebates have a claim window after installation; don't miss it.
Who qualifies in Georgia
HEEHRA point-of-sale rebates (where still funded) are income-qualified — typically up to 80–150% of area median income for partial or full coverage. Georgia utility rebates usually require you to be a customer and install a qualifying high-efficiency unit. Check each program for caps, eligible equipment and deadlines.
