Home energy rebates: Ways to save in 2026.

A more comfortable, energy-efficient home starts with the right upgrades. Whether you’re replacing an aging heating and cooling system or improving your home’s insulation, rebates from TVA EnergyRight® and your local power company can help lower the upfront cost.

Here’s a look at available home energy rebates in 2026 and how to get started.

Get a $1,500 rebate on a qualifying geothermal heat pump.

Geothermal heat pumps use the relatively steady temperature underground to heat and cool your home. If you’re considering a new system, a $1,500 rebate can help offset the cost of a qualifying geothermal heat pump.

A TVA-vetted contractor can help you determine whether geothermal is a good fit for your home and confirm the rebate requirements.

Save on attic insulation, wall insulation and air sealing.

Drafty rooms and uneven temperatures can be signs that your home is losing heated or cooled air. Insulation and air sealing work together to help keep that air where it belongs.

Available rebates include:

  • $300 for qualifying attic insulation.
  • $300 for qualifying wall insulation.
  • $300 for qualifying home envelope air sealing.

A contractor can assess your home and recommend improvements to help you stay comfortable throughout the year.

Save up to $800 on a qualifying heat pump.

An energy-efficient heat pump provides heating and cooling in one system. If it’s time to replace your equipment, available rebates include:

  • $500 for qualifying heat pumps rated 15–16.99 SEER2.
  • $800 for qualifying heat pumps rated 17 SEER2 or higher.

SEER2 measures cooling efficiency. A higher rating generally means a system uses less energy to provide the same amount of cooling. Your contractor can help you compare equipment and choose a system that fits your home.

Get an $800 rebate on a qualifying ductless mini split.

Ductless mini split heat pumps provide heating and cooling without traditional ductwork. They can be an option for additions, homes without existing ducts or spaces that are difficult to keep comfortable.

An $800 rebate is available on qualifying ductless mini split systems.

Save up to $400 on qualifying central air conditioning.

Replacing an aging central air conditioner with a more efficient model can help reduce cooling energy use. Available rebates include:

  • $200 for qualifying central air conditioners rated 15–16.99 SEER2.
  • $400 for qualifying central air conditioners rated 17 SEER2 or higher.

Keep your system running smoothly with a $50 HVAC tune-up rebate.

Routine maintenance helps your heating and cooling system perform efficiently. Schedule a qualifying tune-up for your electric heating and air conditioning equipment with a member of the Quality Contractor Network and receive a $50 rebate.

Seal in savings with a $300 duct sealing rebate.

Leaks in your ductwork can allow heated or cooled air to escape before it reaches your living spaces. Qualifying duct sealing and insulation improvements can help reduce energy waste and improve comfort, with a $300 rebate available to help cover the cost.

Here’s how to get your home energy rebate.

Getting started is simple:

  1. Find a contractor. Choose a TVA-vetted, licensed and insured professional from the Quality Contractor Network. Your contractor can explain which upgrades qualify and confirm the requirements for your project.
  2. Complete your upgrade. Once the qualifying work is finished, your contractor submits your rebate request to TVA EnergyRight for processing.
  3. Claim your rebate. Look for an email from TVA EnergyRight with a redemption code and follow the instructions to claim your rebate.

The upgrades listed above must be completed by a member of the Quality Contractor Network and meet TVA standards effective on the installation date.

Take the next step toward a more comfortable home.

You don’t have to tackle every upgrade at once. Start with the areas that affect your comfort most, whether that’s a drafty room, uneven temperatures or aging equipment.

Rebates from TVA EnergyRight and your local power company can help make qualifying improvements more affordable. Affordable, $0 down financing may also be available through your local power company.
