Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling. Combined with solar, your home stays comfortable all year at near-zero energy cost.
Bundling solar panels with a heat pump is the fastest way for Quinebaug homeowners to reach near-zero energy costs. A 10 kW solar system generates approximately 12,000 kWh per year—enough to power your entire home plus the additional electricity a heat pump needs to replace your oil & gas heating system. At Eversource Energy (CT)’s rate of $0.31/kWh, this eliminates roughly $3,720 in annual electric costs while the heat pump saves an additional $1,500 per year versus oil & gas. Combined, that’s $5,220 in annual savings.
Both the federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) and the heat pump tax credit (Section 25C) expired December 31, 2025 under OBBBA. However, Connecticut state and utility incentives remain strong. Connecticut solar incentives reduce the system cost by $2,500. The Energize CT heat pump rebate covers up to $10,000. Eversource Energy (CT) adds a $3,750 utility rebate. Income-qualified households may also receive HEAR rebates of up to $8,000. Combined, these incentives total up to $16,250.
NuWatt Energy designs integrated solar + heat pump systems specifically for Quinebaug homes. We size the solar array to account for the heat pump’s electricity consumption, ensuring maximum offset from day one. Our team handles everything from system design through Eversource Energy (CT) interconnection and all rebate applications—one contractor, one project, one point of contact.
