Do I Qualify
- Use a participating Clean Heat contractor and qualifying equipment sized to heat the whole home.
- The higher decommissioning rate requires disabling the former fossil-fuel heating system.
- The contractor must verify Weatherized Tier and disadvantaged-community eligibility.
- A dwelling that already received full-load Clean Heat incentives is ineligible for another full-load incentive.
- New fossil-fuel heating equipment cannot be installed with the eligible heat pump.
