Incentives
Salem Electric supports energy efficiency by providing incentives for members to save energy, reduce their electric bills, and help the environment.
Heat Pump Program
Incentives are available for residential members who install high-efficiency air source or ductless heat pumps. Heat pumps operate by moving heat from 1 place to another rather than generating heat, which makes them more energy-efficient. With energy efficiency up to 3 times that of electric forced-air and zonal heating systems, heat pumps can be a real money saver.
Available Incentives: Air Source Heat Pumps:
- $500 for new homes (must apply for incentive within 12 months)
- $1,000 for existing homes, without a previously installed heat pump, with any existing heating fuel source
- $500 for existing homes that are upgrading their air source heat pump
Ductless Heat Pumps:
- $750 for homes with existing electric heat (zonal or forced air)
- $750 for multi-family housing
- $500 for homes with existing heat pumps, manufactured homes, or non-electrically heated homes
- $750 for new single or multi-family homes
Qualification Requirements: Both air source and ductless heat pumps manufactured after January 1, 2023 must have a Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF2) of 7.6 or greater.
