The thing most pages get wrong
A rebate listing says CU pays '$500 ... for installing an ENERGY STAR certified air source heat pump or mini-split heat pump'. CU's form dated 1 October 2026 says: 'Mini-split systems do not qualify for a rebate.' Only central, ducted systems of 2 to 5 tons earn the $400 to $500.
Load calculation first
CU denies the heating and cooling rebate without a Manual J load calculation done before installation and an AHRI certificate. Ask for both when you get bids.
Insulation resets each program year
The insulation rebate is 20% of the cost up to $500 in each program year, which runs October through September. Rental owners can claim up to six a year.
