Two limits most people miss

No rebate can pass 70% of the equipment cost, and labor does not count toward that cost. An instant discount cannot be combined with any other rebate or incentive, MidAmerican's own mail-in rebates included, so the same heat pump gets one or the other.

No insulation rebate here

MidAmerican lists no insulation rebate for Illinois homes. Its free home assessments go to neighborhoods of exceptional need through Neighborhood Power-Up.
