Who is eligible
- who
- Georgia Power residential customers. "Electric" and "gas" rates follow how the home is heated.
- cap
- Rebates are capped at $2,500 a year per customer.
- deadline
- Apply within 60 days of the purchase or installation; allow six to eight weeks. The rebate goes to you or to the installer, whoever submits.
What disqualifies you
The rules people find out about after the work is done.
- A heat pump replacing a gas furnace, an old heat pump or a central air conditioner: the heat pump rebate needs an electric furnace removed.
- Radiant barriers, as attic insulation.
Where the application goes

The thing most pages get wrong
The heat pump rebate is only for replacing an electric furnace, and the installer must attest to it. Rebate sites quote Georgia Power at up to $1,000 for a heat pump with no such condition. There is nothing for replacing a gas furnace, an old heat pump or a central air conditioner.
The web page and the rules disagree
Georgia Power's program page gives the insulation bundle as up to $1,850, then lower down as $1,250; the 2026 rules PDF says $1,700 for an electrically heated home and $1,400 for a gas-heated one. The page's FAQ admits attics at R-38 or below; the PDF requires less than R-19. The PDF is what the rebate is judged by.
Thermostat: $150 or $75
The rules PDF and one table on the web page pay half the cost up to $150; the page's do-it-yourself list and the marketplace tile say $75. The page also still points to federal tax incentives, which ended with 2025.
