Connecticut homeowners across 96 towns are served by 8 electric utilities, with residential rates ranging from 13.2¢ to 36.0¢ 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 Connecticut households.
Most Connecticut homes currently heat with Oil & Gas, spending approximately $2,700/year. A cold-climate heat pump reduces heating costs to approximately $1,200/year in electricity, saving $1,500/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 with design temps around 5°F to 10°F. Cold-climate heat pumps (ENERGY STAR Cold Climate certified) recommended. Equipment must be on Energize CT Qualified Product List.
The Energize CT offers up to $10,000 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.
