Pennsylvania homeowners across 460 towns are served by 11 electric utilities, with residential rates ranging from 14.0¢ to 21.0¢ 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 $900/year in electricity, saving $1,200/year on heating alone. When you power the heat pump with rooftop solar, the marginal electricity cost drops to near zero. Zone 4A (Philadelphia, milder 13°F design temp) to Zone 5A (most of state, colder -2°F to 6°F). Cold-climate models recommended for Zone 5A.
The PA Act 129 Utility Rebates offers up to $500 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.
