New Hampshire Home Energy Rebates & Incentives (2026)
Last updated July 2, 2026
Federal incentives in 2026 (mostly gone)
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ended several federal home-energy credits after December 31, 2025. In 2026 there is no federal heat pump tax credit (Section 25C), no 30% residential solar/battery credit (Section 25D for solar), and no federal EV purchase credit. The main survivor is the federal credit for geothermal (ground-source) heat pumps, which continues under Section 25D through 2032.
New Hampshire state rebates (HEEHRA)
New Hampshire does not appear to have a live HEEHRA program as of early 2026. HEEHRA is federally funded but administered state by state, and not every state has launched it. Check your state energy office for the latest — programs can open (or close) at any time.
Always confirm funding. HEEHRA money is limited and some states have paused new applications after demand. Verify current availability before you count on a rebate.
Utility rebates in New Hampshire
Independent of state and federal programs, many electric utilities offer their own rebates — commonly $300–$1,500 for a qualifying heat pump, and sometimes smaller amounts for smart thermostats, heat-pump water heaters, or EV chargers. With New Hampshire electricity at about 24¢/kWh, these utility programs are often the most reliable savings still on the table in 2026. Check your utility's "rebates" or "energy efficiency" page.
Solar & EV in New Hampshire
Without the federal solar credit, rooftop solar in New Hampshire now pays back through bill savings and net metering rather than an upfront discount — run the numbers with our Solar Calculator. For electric vehicles, the federal purchase credit ended after 2025, though some states and utilities still offer EV or home-charger rebates; compare running costs with our EV vs Gas calculator.
