If you’ve been waiting to invest in new energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment, now is an excellent time to make the move.
Current state and federal rebates and tax credits covering improvements and upgrades to air conditioning and heating systems, including thermostats, are designed to help Southeast Wisconsin homeowners transition to clean energy in an easy and financially beneficial way.
The federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers homeowners up to $14,000 when they choose to make their properties more energy-efficient. By investing in covered improvements through 2032, you can conceivably save thousands of dollars when you buy energy-saving equipment that also helps you save on your utility bills.

Local Rebates & Incentives for HVAC Updates
Wisconsin’s state-sponsored energy-efficient programs help people conserve energy while directly benefiting their community. Cutting at-home energy waste reduces power grid strain, decreases state spending on energy emergencies, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.
Upgrading your home’s heating and cooling equipment allows you to live more efficiently and comfortably. Southeast Wisconsin homeowners can now access state rebates and incentives as follows, with higher incentives often available for income-qualified customers.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps move heat out of a house in summer and pump heat into it in winter. They can be over 300% more efficient than other heating systems, as they move heat instead of generating it. A heat pump offers substantial annual energy and utility bill savings. Depending on your chosen model, you can save up to $1,000.
Smart Thermostats
A smart thermostat is a convenient way to control your home’s heating and cooling through a mobile device. While features vary according to brand, most smart thermostats adapt to your temperature preferences and create a schedule that automatically adjusts to energy-saving settings when you’re away from home or asleep. Wisconsin currently offers a $50 cash rebate for ENERGY STAR® smart thermostats.
Water Heaters
Water heaters account for nearly 20% of a home’s average energy use, more than your refrigerator, washer, dryer, and dishwasher combined. Wisconsin homeowners currently qualify for up to $1,750 for an ENERGY STAR® electric heat pump water heater and an instant discount of $120 for tankless models.
Dehumidifiers
A dehumidifier increases air moisture, helps prevent damage to woodwork, and provides cleaner, more comfortable air year-round. You can receive a $25 rebate when you buy an ENERGY STAR® dehumidifier.
Other Rebates Available
The IRA is the country’s most extensive clean energy investment ever enacted. You can lower your residential utility costs with:
- Federal rebates of 50% to 100% of the cost of installing eligible energy-efficient appliances.
- Various rebates covering home repairs and upgrades improving energy efficiency.
- Tax credit of 30% for heating and cooling equipment upgrades.
- Tax credit of 30% for home improvements that mitigate energy leakage.
