Upgrade Your Homes Heating and Cooling System

What is a heat pump?

A heat pump is a modern upgrade for your home’s comfort. It keeps your home warm in winter and cool in summer—all with one energy-efficient system. Instead of burning fuel, it uses electricity to move heat in or out of your home, making it cleaner, healthier, and more efficient than a traditional furnace.

The average homeowner will save $370 in energy bills each year by upgrading to a heat pump. Homeowners switching from inefficient HVAC systems that run on oil or propane will save an average of $1,000 each year.

How much does a heat pump cost?

A heat pump system can cost between $17,000 and $30,000, but you likely won’t pay that full amount. With the 30% federal heat pump tax credit (up to $2,000 in 2025). Add in group discounts through Switch Together and potential state or utility rebates, and the cost comes down even further. We’ll help you identify every available incentive—like Maryland’s Clean Energy rebate programs and financing through the Clean Energy Advantage Loan Program—to maximize your savings. Since final costs depend on your home’s layout and size, we’ll also work with you to select the most efficient system tailored to your needs.
