State, utility, and federal programs may help reduce the cost of a new high-efficiency HVAC system. Search DSIRE to find rebates and incentives available in your area.
To help you find programs in your area, we send you straight to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE), the authoritative national database of these programs, maintained by the N.C. Clean Energy Technology Center at NC State University. DSIRE tracks state, utility, and federal programs in one place, so it is the most current and the nation's leading source available.
Search by ZIP code or browse by state to see programs currently available in your area.
Why equipment efficiency matters
Many rebate and incentive programs require qualifying high-efficiency equipment. One of the most common eligibility requirements is ENERGY STAR® certification. Equipment that carries the ENERGY STAR label has been independently tested and certified to meet the efficiency standards required by nearly every rebate program you will find in a search, federal, state, or utility.
In plain terms: if the system you install is ENERGY STAR certified, you are already on track to qualify for most incentives available in your area. If it is not, most programs will not apply, no matter what a search turns up. Learn more why ENERGY STAR certification is the the key to most savings programs.
ENERGY STAR 5.0
ENERGY STAR Version 5.0 for furnaces takes effect July 31, 2026, and raises the AFUE thresholds required for gas furnace certification, with different thresholds for northern and southern climate zones. The current Concord furnace lineup is certified to these updated standards. Ask your dealer to confirm the AFUE rating for a furnace, or the SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings for cooling and heat pump systems, and ENERGY STAR status for any equipment you are considering, since these are the numbers most rebate programs check first.
Rebates and incentives for a new heating and cooling system come from a mix of state energy offices, local utility companies, and federal programs. What is available to you depends on where you live, your utility provider, the equipment you install, and current program funding. Programs change, and some pause once funding runs out.

Found a program that might apply? Here's what to do next.
A DSIRE search result is a starting point, not a guarantee. Program funding, eligibility rules, and equipment requirements can all affect whether a specific rebate applies to your installation. Your local dealer is the right person to confirm what you qualify for. They can:
Verify current program status. Funding can pause or run out between the time you search and the time you install.
Confirm equipment eligibility for the specific system you are considering, including ENERGY STAR certification and SEER2/HSPF2 ratings.
Help you apply for programs that require pre-approval before installation begins. Failing to complete this step is the most common reason homeowners miss a rebate they qualify for.
Identify additional local programs and help you stack available incentives with dealer financing.
Federal point-of-sale rebates funded through the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program remain available in some states, administered by each state's energy office, with rollout and funding status varying widely by state. DSIRE lists current federal programs alongside state and utility programs, so a single search covers all three.
