Heat Pump and Mini-Split Incentives

Heat pumps and mini-splits are highly efficient electric heating and cooling systems that can provide year-round comfort while reducing energy costs. Thanks to HG&E's low electric rates, heat pumps have some of the lowest annual heating costs of any heating system available in Holyoke.

Whether you're exploring your options or ready to start a project, our Heat Pump & Mini-Split Education Page can help you learn how heat pumps work, compare heating costs, find qualified installers, and determine whether a heat pump is right for your home.

See below for available HG&E heat pump and mini-split incentives. Not sure where to begin? Follow our step-by-step guide to navigate the process from planning and contractor selection through installation and incentives.
