Utility rebates, what changed with federal credits, and the paperwork.
Rebates change every year, and a lot of what's still online is out of date. The federal 25C credit ended for equipment installed after 2025, and Minnesota's IRA home energy rebates had not launched as of mid-2026. What remains is mostly utility programs: CenterPoint Energy, Xcel Energy, Dakota Electric, Connexus and others, each with its own rules.
These guides explain which programs exist, what kind of equipment they cover, and whether a rebate needs a registered contractor. We don't quote rebate amounts because they change; we link you to the program page to check current terms before you buy. See also heat pumps and furnace replacement.

Read the guideRebates questions
Where do I find a current HVAC rebate?
Start with your electric or gas utility's rebate page, since amounts and eligibility change. Confirm the rebate in writing before you buy, because many require specific efficiency ratings.
Can I still get the federal HVAC tax credit?
No. The federal 25C credit ended for equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025. Utility rebates are separate and still run, so check your utility's current program before you choose equipment.
Why do rebates ask for specific efficiency ratings?
Utilities pay for equipment that saves measurable energy, so they set minimums such as AFUE for furnaces, SEER2 for air conditioners and HSPF2 for heat pumps. Compare the exact model number on the quote with the program's requirements before you sign.
