30% Tax Credit

In addition to Chelan PUD rebates, homeowners may qualify for a federal tax credit of 30% of project costs up to a maximum of $2,000. Tax credits may require greater equipment efficiency than Chelan PUD rebates. Before purchasing your ductless heat pump, verify eligibility at the EnergyStar website.
