FAQs

What's a heat pump/mini-split?

A machine that heats and cools your home. They're like ACs with a heating mode. Here's one that goes on the wall without air ducts. There are also ones that use central air ducts.

You can see a photo of a wall unit & an exterior condenser below :)

How do you vet contractors for quality?

We wrote an entire article about this so you can vet contractors, too!

Otherwise, we spend A LOT of time thinking about how good installations take place, and publish our notes out in the open. We also have a small gallery here in case you want to check that out.

When do you run bulk deals? How do I participate?

Typically, spring & fall. That's when we do the biggest ones. During the summer we'll help facilitate emergency installs as well, but we're able to handle more demand in the shoulder seasons.

If you'd like to participate, hit the sign up button above. When a group negotiation is taking place, you'll be the first to know via. email!

How much is the rebate? Is it still $10k?

So in 2026, rebates are starting to taper down, year by year. It's not $10k this year; it's $8.5k.

Here's how much you might get:

  • Using heat pumps as your primary heating source? Well, it's $2,650 per ton (capacity of your condenser), up to $8,500.
  • Using heat pumps in addition to another heating source? Then, it's $1,125 per ton.

If you're installing heat pumps in a house, chances are, you're looking at $8.5k. Smaller units (e.g. triple deckers) may be closer to $6k.

If you're in one of these income buckets (e.g. family of 4 making less than $126,144), you may qualify for $16,000 in incentives!

Who's running this and how is it funded?

We've got a whole team that's ever evolving. Here's how we're funded.

Twice a year, we negotiate.

With more than $1M+ worth of volume per deal, we're able to negotiate heat pump installation rates with contractors at up to a 15% discount from the market average.

Backed by our market research.

Industry-leading transparency, from prices to equipment selection. See for yourself.
