Ameren Illinois Rebates
Up to ~$1,500 per unit
Ameren Illinois' energy-efficiency program offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps, tiered by efficiency. As a licensed installer, we help you choose equipment that qualifies.
Amount varies by efficiency tier and program funding.
Federal HEAR Program
Up to $8,000 (income-qualified)
The federal Home Efficiency/Electrification (HEAR) program can cover a large share of a qualifying heat-pump project for income-eligible households, and may stack with Ameren rebates.
Income-qualified; benefit tier depends on household income vs. area median.
Federal Tax Credits (IRA 25C)
Percentage of project cost
Federal energy tax credits are available for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and geothermal systems. We'll provide the documentation you need for your tax preparer.
Tax credit — consult your tax professional for eligibility and amounts.
Rebate and incentive amounts vary by program, equipment, efficiency, income, and available funding, and change over time.

Geothermal vs. conventional heating & cooling
Why the incentive programs favor geothermal and heat pumps — a side-by-side of what to expect.
| Geothermal / Heat Pump | Conventional Furnace + AC | |
|---|---|---|
| Energy efficiency | 300–500% (moves heat, doesn't burn fuel) | Up to ~98% AFUE (furnace) |
| Typical equipment lifespan | 20–24+ years (indoor unit) | 13–15 years |
| Operating cost | Among the lowest available | Higher, and tied to fuel prices |
| Rebate / tax-credit eligibility | Strong (heat-pump + geothermal programs) | Limited |
| Outdoor unit / noise | None (loop is underground) | Outdoor condenser |
Ranges are typical industry figures; actual efficiency, lifespan, and savings depend on your home, system, and usage. We'll model your specifics during a free estimate.
