Rebates & Tax Credits
When you install a Bosch heat pump through Consistent Climate, you may qualify for rebates from your utility company and federal tax credits that reduce what you pay upfront.
Local PUDs offer rebates for qualifying heat pump installations. Amounts vary by utility.
The Inflation Reduction Act offers up to 30% tax credit on qualifying heat pump installations.
Bosch systems we install are AHRI certified - the key requirement for qualifying for most programs.
PUD Utility Rebates
Many Washington State public utility districts (PUDs) offer cash rebates when homeowners upgrade to a qualifying heat pump. These programs exist to encourage more efficient energy use across the grid.
To qualify, the equipment must meet efficiency standards - typically measured by AHRI certification and minimum SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings. All Bosch systems we install meet these requirements.
Rebate amounts vary significantly by utility and program. Some utilities rebate a flat dollar amount per ton of capacity; others rebate a percentage of equipment cost. Nathen can help you understand what's available from your specific utility.

Federal Tax Credits
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created substantial tax credits for energy-efficient home improvements, including heat pump installations. These are non-refundable credits that directly reduce your federal tax liability.
25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit
- • 30% credit on qualifying heat pump costs
- • Up to $2,000 per year for heat pumps
- • Can be combined with utility rebates
- • Applies to primary residences
- • No income limits for this credit
To claim this credit, you'll file IRS Form 5695 with your tax return. We'll provide you with all documentation needed, including equipment model numbers and manufacturer certifications.
Note: Tax credit rules can change and individual eligibility varies. Consult a tax professional to confirm how these credits apply to your situation.
Why Bosch Equipment Qualifies
Not all heat pumps qualify for rebates and tax credits. Bosch systems do - because they're AHRI certified and built to the efficiency standards these programs require.
AHRI Certified
AHRI (Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute) certification verifies that equipment meets rated efficiency levels. Most rebate and tax credit programs require this.
High SEER Ratings
Bosch systems meet and exceed the minimum SEER ratings required by Washington State and federal efficiency programs.
Inverter-Driven Technology
Inverter compressors modulate their output to match demand, delivering efficiency that standard single-stage units can't match.
10-Year Warranty
Bosch backs their equipment with a 10-year factory warranty. Combined with our 10-year labor warranty, that's complete protection for a decade.
How the Savings Stack Up

Plus, most homeowners save 30-50% on heating costs every month after switching from electric resistance heat. The system pays for itself over time.
