Quick answers: PECO Home Rebates Program
How much are PECO's heating and cooling rebates?
Through the PECO Home Rebates Program, Greater Philadelphia homeowners can currently earn from $25 to $1,000 depending on the equipment. Ducted heat pumps earn $200 to $300, ductless mini-splits $150 to $300, central air conditioners $150 to $200, high-efficiency natural gas furnaces up to $600, natural gas boilers up to $1,000, and a natural gas heating conversion pays $400.
Does the PECO Home Rebates Program cover heat pumps?
Yes. A ducted air source heat pump earns $200 (15.2 to 17.0 SEER2) or $300 (17.1+ SEER2), and a ductless mini-split heat pump earns $150 (15.2 to 17.0 SEER2) or $300 (17.1+ SEER2), as long as it meets the efficiency minimums and is AHRI-certified.
How long do I have to apply for a PECO rebate?
Your application must be received within 90 days of the purchase or installation date. It's a firm deadline, so if you miss it the rebate is forfeited, no matter how efficient the equipment is.
Is the PECO Home Rebates Program still available in 2026?
Yes. The PECO Home Rebates Program has been extended through 2031, so homeowners in Chester County and across southeastern Pennsylvania can keep earning money back on qualifying, energy-efficient heating and cooling upgrades.

How Much Are PECO’s Heating and Cooling Rebates?
The PECO Home Rebates Program has been extended through the next five years. But how much can it actually save you on your next heating or cooling project?
First and foremost, only high-efficiency, energy-saving systems qualify for the rebate program. Your rebate amount will depend on the precise efficiency rating of your new system. That means the SEER2, HSPF2, and AFUE ratings are under the microscope.
While it’s helpful to know exactly what these efficiency ratings mean, in short, a higher SEER2, HSPF2, or AFUE number represents a system with a higher efficiency level. That adds up to less energy consumption and lower energy bills.
Essentially, PECO rebates serve to encourage you to overcome the higher upfront costs of an energy-efficient system to realize the benefits of lower month-to-month bills. Whether you’re replacing a system in the near future or planning a year or two out, the rebate savings will now be available through 2031.
Now, let’s take a look at each type of system rebate.
PECO Heat Pump Rebates
Heat pumps are a popular upgrade that’s trending among homeowners seeking lower energy bills. They also earn some of the program’s larger equipment rebates:
- For qualifying heat pumps rated at 15.2-17.0 SEER2 and 7.8+ HSPF2, you’ll receive a $200 rebate.
- For qualifying heat pumps rated at 17.1+ and 7.8+ HSPF2, you’ll receive a $300 rebate.
Not sure what those numbers mean for the system you’re looking at? Our guides on what counts as a good SEER2 rating and how HSPF2 works for heat pumps translate the spec sheet into plain English.
PECO Central AC Rebates
The PECO Home Rebates Program applies to new AC systems rated 15.2 SEER2 and above:
- A qualifying central AC system at 15.2-15.9 SEER2 earns you a $150 rebate.
- A qualifying central AC system at 16.0+ SEER2 earns you a $200 rebate.
PECO Ductless Mini Split Rebates
Ductless mini splits are a smart fit for additions, older homes without ductwork, or for rooms that never quite get as comfortable as the rest. Through the PECO Home Rebates Program, ductless mini splits earn the following kickbacks:
- For eligible mini splits rated at 15.2-17.0 SEER2 and 7.8+ HSPF2, you’ll get $150 back.
- For eligible mini splits rated at 17.1+ SEER2 and 7.8+ HSPF2, you’ll get $300 back.
PECO Natural Gas Furnace Rebates
High-efficiency natural gas furnaces are also covered under PECO’s Home Rebate Program:
- ENERGY STAR furnaces rated at 95.0-96.9% AFUE receive a $350 rebate.
- ENERGY STAR+ furnaces rated at 97%+ AFUE receive a $600 rebate.
PECO Natural Gas Boiler Rebates
High efficiency boilers represent the largest potential rebates ($1,000) offered by the PECO Home Rebates Program:
- ENERGY STAR boilers at 90%+ AFUE qualify for a $350 rebate.
- ENERGY STAR+ combi boilers (ones that both heat your home and provide your hot water) rated at 94%+ AFUE qualify for the full $1,000
PECO Natural Gas Heating Conversion Rebate
Thinking about switching from oil or propane to natural gas? The PECO Home Rebates Program offers a $400 rebate when you convert your primary heating fuel source to natural gas. If you’re weighing that move, our guide to what PECO does and doesn’t handle in a natural gas conversion explains how the process actually works.
PECO Maintenance and Other Rebates
Rebates aren’t just for new system installations. The PECO Home Rebates Program also includes a $50 rebate for heat pump maintenance and $25 for central air conditioning maintenance.
How to Claim Your PECO Rebate
PECO keeps the claim process straightforward. Here’s how it works, step by step.
1. Confirm your equipment qualifies. Check your proposal or invoice and verify the equipment is ENERGY STAR certified and meets the efficiency criteria in the chart above.
2. Confirm you meet the other eligibility rules. The equipment must be new, and it has to be installed in a home that currently receives PECO residential service for that fuel type (electric for heat pumps and central AC, or natural gas for furnaces and boilers). Your application must also include a paid receipt showing the model number, manufacturer, purchase price, and purchase date.
3. Submit your application one of three ways. Ask your contractor to file it on your behalf, apply online through PECO’s rebate portal, or download and mail the paper application (PDF).
Don't miss this
Your rebate application must be received within 90 days of purchase or installation. This deadline is firm. Miss it and you forfeit the rebate, no matter how efficient your new system is. If there's one detail to act on, it's this one.
