Utah Heat Pump Rebates
Stackable incentives available to Utah homeowners installing a qualifying heat pump in 2026.
What's available in Utah
Utah homeowners get their meaningful heat pump incentives through the two major utilities — there is no federal air-source heat pump tax credit in 2026 (§25C expired Dec. 31, 2025); §25D still applies to geothermal installs. Rocky Mountain Power (PacifiCorp), the dominant electric utility, runs the Wattsmart Homes program updated February 27, 2026. Its air-source heat pump rebate is tiered: $450 for an efficiency upgrade and $1,200 / $1,400 / $1,600 for electric-resistance conversions (top cold-climate tier $1,600); ductless conversions run $1,300–$1,700. Enbridge Gas Utah (formerly Dominion Energy Utah, retaining the ThermWise brand) offers a complementary dual-fuel furnace rebate, now two-tiered at $1,000 (Tier 1) or $1,200 (Tier 2), enabling a combined utility stack of roughly $2,600–$2,800. With no federal heat pump tax credit available in 2026, the utility stack is the full Utah incentive package. Utah has no state-level heat pump rebate program. The IRA-funded HEEHRA program, for which Utah received a $101 million allocation, was not available to homeowners as of mid-2026 due to federal funding uncertainty (a hoped-for launch by end of 2026); income-qualified households should monitor the Utah Office of Energy Development for any relaunch.

The Wattsmart Ductless rebate has its own tiered structure: $1,700 for multi-head ductless replacing electric resistance, $1,300 for single-head conversion, $1,700 for ducted mini-split (electric resistance conversion), $600 for supplemental ductless, plus a new $1,000 gas hydronic radiant floor supplemental tier added February 2026. Enbridge Gas Utah (formerly Dominion Energy Utah, retaining the ThermWise brand) offers a complementary dual-fuel furnace rebate, now two-tiered at $1,000 (Tier 1) or $1,200 (Tier 2), enabling a combined utility stack of roughly $2,600–$2,800.

A worked example: dual-fuel heat pump in Salt Lake City
Anya owns a 1,950 sq ft home in Salt Lake City served by Rocky Mountain Power (electric) and Enbridge Gas Utah (gas). Her 22-year-old gas furnace and central AC are both end-of-life. She gets quotes for a 3-ton ducted dual-fuel system: ASHP for primary heating down to about 25°F with a high-efficiency gas furnace as backup. Installed cost: $14,200. On the RMP side, her Wattsmart air-source rebate depends on the tier: because this is a dual-fuel system with gas backup (not a full electric-resistance conversion), it lands at the $450 efficiency-upgrade tier rather than the $1,200–$1,600 conversion tiers. As an Enbridge Gas Utah ThermWise customer installing a high-efficiency gas furnace in a dual-fuel configuration, she also qualifies for the ThermWise dual-fuel furnace rebate at $1,200 (Tier 2). The two stack by design. Utah HEEHRA hasn't launched. The federal §25C credit is gone. Combined stack: $450 + $1,200 = $1,650 against $14,200. Net out-of-pocket: $12,550. (Had Anya instead converted from electric-resistance heat to a full-electric heat pump, she'd reach the RMP $1,600 cold-climate tier — a larger rebate, but she'd lose the ThermWise gas-furnace rebate.) Anya enrolls in the RMP load-control rate to capture additional operating-cost savings.
Choosing a contractor in Utah
Utah licenses HVAC contractors through the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) under Mechanical Contractor (S-350). Verify at dopl.utah.gov before signing. RMP Wattsmart rebates require a program-eligible HVAC contractor; the eligible-contractor list is on wattsmarthomes.com. Enbridge Gas Utah ThermWise rebates require a participating contractor for the gas-conversion path. Confirm both program enrollments at the quote stage. For Wattsmart's Ductless Heat Pump rebate (up to $1,700), the system must be inverter-driven and AHRI-certified — confirm both on the AHRI certificate.
Common pitfalls for Utah homeowners
- Mixing up Wattsmart rate-schedule requirements. The $1,450 Wattsmart Dual-Fuel rebate requires customers on RMP rate schedules 1, 2, 3, or 25. The Wattsmart Ductless rebate is more restrictive — rate schedules 1, 2, or 3 only. Time-of-use rates and commercial-residential rates may not qualify. Confirm your rate schedule on a recent bill before assuming the headline rebate amount applies.
- Assuming the Enbridge ThermWise rebate applies to electric-only conversions. The Enbridge Gas Utah ThermWise dual-fuel rebate ($1,200) is structured for the gas furnace component of a dual-fuel system — it requires the homeowner to be an Enbridge gas customer installing a high-efficiency gas furnace alongside the heat pump. A homeowner switching from electric resistance to a full-electric heat pump (no gas backup) doesn't qualify for the ThermWise rebate.

How to claim each rebate
- Get pre-approved (where required). Some utility programs require approval before install. Check program details before signing a contract.
- Use a participating contractor. Many programs require a licensed installer from an approved contractor list — especially HEEHRA, which routes through CEC-approved contractors who process the rebate at point of sale.
- Save documentation. AHRI certificate, model numbers, and itemized invoice are required for most utility rebates.
- Submit utility rebate within 60–90 days of install. Some programs are first-come first-served and close mid-year — funding can run out before the calendar year does.
