The thing most pages get wrong
Contractor guides for 2026 say CenterPoint pays '$400 for a high-efficiency gas furnace'. CenterPoint's own table pays $1,000 for a furnace of 97% AFUE or higher that replaces existing equipment; $400 is the 96% tier, or the 97% furnace in a new home.
A heat pump that keeps the furnace
CenterPoint's heat pump rebate is for a ducted heat pump paired with a 92% or better gas furnace, programmed to switch over at 40°F or lower. A heat pump that replaces gas heating entirely gets nothing from CenterPoint; ask your electric utility instead.
No rebate for attic insulation alone
CenterPoint pays $750 for attic air sealing, $1,300 with insulation to R-49, and nothing for adding insulation without sealing.
