The thing most pages get wrong

TVA's rebates are not automatic for every Tennessee home. TVA says program participation 'may vary depending on your local power company' and that eligibility depends on the address, the type of housing and the local power company's participation. Check with yours before signing.

A deadline on the contractor

Chattanooga's EPB says that since 1 October 2024 Quality Contractor Network members must start the rebate claim within 90 days of finishing the project. Ask your contractor when it will file.

Still mentions the federal credit

TVA's geothermal page says federal tax credits 'may also be available'. The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit ended for systems placed in service after 31 December 2025.
