The rules for using ElectrifyAtlas.
Plain English.

What ElectrifyAtlas is

ElectrifyAtlas is a free online service that aggregates federal, state, and utility heat pump rebate programs, estimates system sizing via Manual J approximation, and matches homeowners with vetted local HVAC installers who can quote their project.

Using the site does not establish a service contract, retainer, or professional engagement. Specifically, we are not an HVAC contractor, tax advisor, or legal counsel. All engineering and financial decisions are yours to make with appropriately licensed professionals.

What we don't guarantee

Rebate approval. Dollar amounts shown on this site are the maximum stackable amount under current program rules, not a promise of approval. Your actual approved amount depends on your ZIP, income documentation, equipment spec, installer certification, and the program's administrative timing. Programs close mid-year.

Program accuracy at a moment in time. We refresh the Rewiring America data daily and update editorial content on the cadence published on the methodology page, but a specific program can change between our last refresh and your query. Always verify against the primary source URL we cite before applying.

Installer quality. We vet installers for coverage, certification, and reputation, but we don\'t supervise their work. Your contract is with the installer, not ElectrifyAtlas. Workmanship, warranty, and dispute resolution are between you and the installer.

Technical sizing precision. The heat pump calculator runs a Manual J approximation — accurate enough to set budget expectations and compare installer bids, not accurate enough to order equipment without a licensed installer\'s full Manual J + Manual S + Manual D workup.

Tax outcomes. Federal tax credits (surviving 25C categories, 25D, etc.) depend on your specific tax situation. Consult a CPA before filing any federal-credit claim based on ElectrifyAtlas content.

How installer routing works

When you submit the installer-quote form, we send your contact information and project parameters to three vetted local HVAC installers with coverage in your ZIP. The three installers are selected by coverage + rebate-program certification + basic reputation. They are NOT selected by bid amount.

Those three installers will contact you directly to schedule an assessment or quote. Your contract is with the installer, not with ElectrifyAtlas. ElectrifyAtlas receives a per-lead fee from the installer network, which is how the site is funded. See the methodology page for the full revenue model.

You are under no obligation to hire any of the three installers. You can request different installers, get additional quotes elsewhere, or walk away entirely. ElectrifyAtlas does not collect any fee from you at any point.

Content use

Brief excerpts from our journal posts, guides, or case studies with a linkback to the source URL are fine without prior permission.

Republishing full articles, mirroring our state hubs, scraping the utility-rebate pages, or redistributing our rebate-finder data programmatically is not permitted. Email [email protected] for syndication, partnership, or licensing inquiries.

The Atlas concierge, rebate finder, heat pump calculator, stacking simulator, decision quiz, operating savings calculator, and cold-climate equipment recommender are for personal, non-commercial use by homeowners + prospective homeowners. Automated scraping of these tools is prohibited.

Liability

ElectrifyAtlas provides information and matching services "as is." To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for:

• Decisions you make based on site content (equipment purchases, contractor selection, tax filings).
• Rebate programs that close, change, or reject an application.
• Installer workmanship, pricing, scheduling, or contract performance.
• Downtime or technical issues that prevent access to the site or tools.
• Errors in cached rebate data between refresh cycles.

Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be excluded by applicable law.

Changes to these terms

Material changes to these terms are announced via the datestamp at the bottom of this page and emailed to the program-alert list. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance.
