GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS

ENERGY-EFFICIENT HEATING & COOLING FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Ground source heat pumps are efficient and environmentally friendly. They can reduce your electric heating costs, protect you from the impacts of future heating costs, and help you save for years to come.

A ground source heat pump circulates fluid through a loop of pipes buried underground. In heating mode, the fluid absorbs heat from the earth, which stays at a stable temperature regardless of the temperature above ground. In summer, the process is reversed, redistributing heat back into the ground.

We offer rebates to make your upgrade easier and more affordable. They’re calculated as the lesser of:

$2.50 per square foot heated by a ground source heat pump system
$120 per MBH of installed heating capacity
$120 per MBH of the building’s eligible base transmission and infiltration heating load.

Check out our program guide for more information.

STEPS TO PARTICIPATE

CHOOSE A REGISTERED CONTRACTOR

Find out if your project is eligible, then choose a registered contractor. We recommend browsing our list of registered contractors, getting several quotes, and checking references before making your choice. Once you’ve chosen a contractor, they’ll lead you through the application process and apply on your behalf. You’ll need to agree to the terms and conditions at this time.
GET APPROVAL FOR YOUR PROJECT

We’ll send you an email approving your project and from there, you’ll have one year to purchase and install your ground source heat pump. Be sure to wait for approval before purchasing materials or starting any work.
COMPLETE YOUR PROJECT & GET YOUR REBATE

Once your heat pump is installed and operational, you and your contractor will sign a completion declaration and submit all applicable permits and invoices. We’ll review these documents and then send you your rebate. We may contact you to schedule a post-installation verification of your heat pump prior to issuing your rebate.
