Connecticut's Residential Energy Optimization Incentive now pays $1,500 per ton, up to $10,000 when a qualifying heat pump replaces natural gas, oil, propane, or electric resistance heat. Available through December 31, 2026, and stackable with 1.99% Smart-E financing.
An air source heat pump extracts heat from outdoor air to warm your home in winter and reverses the process to cool it in summer. Instead of burning fossil fuels, it uses a refrigerant cycle powered by electricity - delivering 2–3× more energy than it consumes.

Seal and insulate your home before installing a heat pump. A tighter, well-insulated home improves comfort, reduces energy costs, and may allow you to install smaller, less expensive equipment.
Heat pumps run on electricity, which will increase your electric bill. However, this is typically offset by significant savings on oil, propane, or gas heating costs.
Heat pumps perform best when correctly sized and designed for your space. Work with a qualified contractor from the Energize CT Heat Pump Installer Network.
Ductless mini-splits are ideal for homes without existing ductwork. Ducted systems use your existing ducts to distribute conditioned air throughout your home.
As an authorized Energize CT contractor, CellSun Home handles the entire process - from selecting the right system to applying your rebates automatically at install.
