Heat Pump Incentives for New Construction or Renovation
Heat pump incentives are available for businesses that are looking for supplemental heating and cooling needs. These heat pump mini-split systems should not replace existing primary heating and cooling systems but can be installed to help target zones in need of more climate control.
| Zones | Minimum HSPF | Incentives |
| 1 | 12 | $500 |
| 2 | 10 | $750 |
| 3 | 10 | $1,000 |
| 4+ | 10 | $1,250 |
