Pennsylvania homeowners across 460 towns are served by 11 electric utilities, with residential rates ranging from 14.0¢ to 20.0¢ per kWh. Combining rooftop solar with a cold-climate heat pump eliminates both your electric bill and fossil fuel heating costs — the two largest energy expenses for Pennsylvania households.
Most Pennsylvania homes currently heat with Natural Gas, spending approximately $2,100/year. A cold-climate heat pump reduces heating costs to approximately $580/year in electricity, saving $1,520/year on heating alone. When you power the heat pump with rooftop solar, the marginal electricity cost drops to near zero. Moderate to cold winters depending on region. Western PA is colder (design temp 5°F); eastern PA is milder (15°F).
The PA Utility Rebate offers up to $450 for heat pump installation, and many utilities add their own solar and heat pump rebates. The federal residential ITC (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025, so state and utility programs are now the primary incentives for homeowner purchases.
NuWatt Energy designs and installs solar+heat pump systems directly across Pennsylvania — licensed electricians and HVAC technicians, no subcontractors. We handle load calculation, system sizing, installation, and all permitting. Browse the utilities and towns below for location-specific data.
