South Carolina Heat Pump Rebates & Incentives
Every heat pump rebate available to South Carolina homeowners in 2026.
Federal 25C Tax Credit — Expired
The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (up to $2,000 for heat pumps) expired on December 31, 2025. Heat pumps installed in 2026 no longer qualify for this credit.
- ✅ The HEEHRA rebate (below) was not repealed — up to $8,000 for income-qualified households
- ✅ South Carolina state and utility rebates still apply to all homeowners
- ✕ No 25C federal credit for heat pumps placed in service after Dec 31, 2025
HEEHRA Federal Rebate
The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEEHRA) program provides up to $8,000 toward a heat pump for households at or below 150% of area median income, administered by South Carolina. Unlike the expired 25C credit, this is an upfront rebate, not a tax credit.
- ✅ Up to $8,000 for heat pumps (income-qualified)
- ✅ Available as a point-of-sale discount where the program has launched
- ✅ Can be combined with South Carolina state and utility rebates
South Carolina State & Utility Rebate
South Carolina has no statewide heat-pump rebate; Duke Energy offers occasional efficiency incentives.
