Illinois heat pump rebates — frequently asked

Does Illinois have active HEEHRA rebates in 2026?

Illinois has accepted DOE funding and announced a program, but the consumer portal is still in development. See the live state-by-state HEEHRA rollout tracker for program launch dates and income caps.

Can I claim the federal 25C tax credit on a heat pump in Illinois?

No — the 25C federal heat pump tax credit was repealed by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025 and expired December 31, 2025. Illinois homeowners should focus on state-administered HEEHRA rebates, utility incentives, and remaining 25C items (solar PV, geothermal, battery storage).

How much can I save on a heat pump in Illinois?

Expected rebate stack in Illinois: $0 today, $8,000 to $14,000 when the portal opens. Savings depend on household income, equipment tier, and whether your ZIP has utility programs that layer on top of state rebates. Use the rebate finder on this page to see the exact programs for your ZIP.

What's the income limit for HEEHRA rebates in Illinois?

HEEHRA uses Area Median Income (AMI) tiers from HUD, which vary by county and household size. Under 80% AMI qualifies for the full rebate (up to $8,000 heat pump + $14,000 whole-package). Between 80–150% AMI qualifies for 50% of the rebate. Above 150% AMI is not HEEHRA-eligible but can still stack utility programs.

Can I stack HEEHRA with Illinois utility rebates?

Yes — HEEHRA is designed to stack with state and utility programs. The application order matters: federal tax credits (where applicable), then state energy office rebates, then utility incentives, then manufacturer/dealer rebates. Stacking correctly is how homeowners reach net-cost savings of 50–90% off the pre-rebate install price.
