IMPORTANT UPDATE if your system has already been installed: TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBATE, YOUR HEAT PUMPS MUST HAVE BEEN INSTALLED WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS – sorry no exceptions.
ONLY ONE REBATE PER HOUSEHOLD ALLOWED
GELD is offering a 10% REBATE (not to exceed $500) for heat pumps and/or mini-split systems, geothermal, and electric thermal storage (ETS) systems. Note: a home energy audit is not required to apply for the rebate.

Rebate Application Process
Rebate Application Process
- The REBATE Form (below) must be completed and returned (along with the contractor quote) to GELD. Please be sure to include the product being installed (manufacture & model #s) and include the SEER2 & HSPF2 ratings (acceptable ratings listed below)
- GELD will review the application and notify the customer of approval or denial. In the case of denial, a reason will be given.
- Applicant then has work completed by contractor(s).
- Following the project completion, the customer calls GELD for a post-installation inspection. The rebate will be processed by GELD after the post-installation inspection.
Acceptable ratings for Air-Source Heat Pumps
Acceptable ratings for Air-Source Heat Pumps
Air Source Heat Pump >=15.2 SEER2 >=8.1 HSPF2 = 10% of cost up To $500 Rebate
Air Source Heat Pump less than the standards above will qualify for a $250 rebate
Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER):
A room air conditioner’s efficiency is measured by the energy efficiency ratio (EER). The EER is the ratio of the cooling capacity (in British thermal units [Btu] per hour) to the power input (in watts). The higher the EER rating, the more efficient the air conditioner.
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2):
This is a measure of equipment energy efficiency over the cooling season. It represents the total cooling of a central air conditioner or heat pump (in Btu) during the normal cooling season as compared to the total electric energy input (in watt-hours) consumed during the same period.
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF2): This is a measure of a heat pump’s energy efficiency over one heating season. It represents the total heating output of a heat pump (including supplementary electric heat) during the normal heating season (in Btu) as compared to the total electricity consumed (in watt-hours) during the same period.
Air-Source Heat Pump (ASHP): An air-source unitary heat pump model consists of one or more factory-made assemblies which normally include an indoor conditioning coil(s), compressor(s), and outdoor coil(s), including means to provide a heating function. ASHPs shall provide the function of air heating with controlled temperature, and may include the functions of air-cooling, air-circulation, air-cleaning, dehumidifying or humidifying.
Note: A/C cooling-only units are not eligible.
