Electric Heat Incentives Available to SPD Customers

Southern Power District offers an incentive program to customers who convert or upgrade their existing heating and cooling system with an energy efficient, ENERGY STAR qualified air source or ground source heat pump.

There are different levels of rebates available to you, for new construction or conversions and upgrades. To determine which rebates are available to you, refer to the chart below.

Once you decide to take the step to improve your home’s efficiency with a heat pump, you will be required to have a performance verification completed in order to qualify for your incentive. This will assure that your heat pump is operating properly and assure the energy savings you deserve. The performance verification incentive for dealers is also outlined in the chart below:

TYPE OF INSTALLATION IN HOME---> NEW CONSTRUCTION CONVERSION & UPGRADES ONLY
