ComEd heat pump rebates.
Stacked, current, actionable.

ComEd pays up to $3,600 for a qualifying air-source heat pump through the Energy Efficiency Program, plus a separate rebate for heat pump water heaters and weatherization. Illinois HEEHRA is approved but not yet live — homeowners installing through ComEd trade allies in 2026 should document installations for HEEHRA retroactive review once the Illinois portal opens.

What heat pump rebates does ComEd offer?

ComEd pays up to $3,600 for a qualifying air-source heat pump through the Energy Efficiency Program, plus a separate rebate for heat pump water heaters and weatherization. Illinois HEEHRA is approved but not yet live — homeowners installing through ComEd trade allies in 2026 should document installations for HEEHRA retroactive review once the Illinois portal opens.

Overview

ComEd serves roughly 4 million electric customers across northern Illinois, including Chicago and its surrounding counties. Rebates are funded through the Illinois Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard and administered through the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program.

The residential heat pump rebate scales with heating capacity and efficiency tier. A typical 3-ton cold-climate install nets $2,400–$3,600, with higher amounts for ENERGY STAR Cold Climate certified models and NEEP-listed equipment. ComEd also rebates heat pump water heaters at $400–$750 depending on efficiency.

Illinois HEEHRA is in the pending category as of April 2026, with the Illinois Commerce Commission targeting a Q3 2026 portal open. ComEd trade ally contractors are expected to be first-in-line for HEEHRA certification because the Illinois EEPS contractor network is the natural distribution channel for federal rebate filing.

Stacking with HEEHRA and federal credits

ComEd rebates and Illinois HEEHRA will stack cleanly once the ICC opens the consumer portal in Q3 2026, because ComEd is a ratepayer-funded utility program and HEEHRA is federal funding. See the HEEHRA guide for Illinois-specific income bands. Homeowners installing in Q2 2026 through ComEd alone should retain full itemized invoices and contractor certification documentation — Illinois has signaled openness to retroactive HEEHRA filing for installs completed within 12 months of portal launch, though the rules are not yet final.

The 25C federal tax credit for heat pumps ended July 2025, so the federal layer on Illinois residential installs is now HEEHRA rather than 25C. See the rebate stacking guide for the current sequencing. Geothermal systems retain the 30% 25C credit through 2034, which means a ComEd ground-source install in 2026 stacks ComEd rebate + 25C 30% + pending HEEHRA geothermal tier — the strongest federal stack currently available to Illinois homeowners.

Application tips

Use a ComEd trade ally for the install. Non-trade-ally contractors can file mail-in rebate paperwork on the homeowner's behalf, but the point-of-sale discount is only available through trade ally channels and the turnaround on mail-in rebates is 6–8 weeks.

Confirm equipment meets the current ComEd rebate tier, which updates annually. The 2026 tier list raised the HSPF2 minimum for the top rebate band, so models that qualified in 2024 may now fall into a lower rebate tier — verification before contract signing avoids a mid-project surprise.

Complete the Home Energy Assessment before booking the heat pump install. The assessment is required for the weatherization rebate and is strongly recommended even for the standalone heat pump rebate because it documents the pre-install load, which is useful evidence for HEEHRA retroactive filing if Illinois permits it.

ComEd rebates — frequently asked

No, the ComEd rebate is funded through electric EEPS and applies only to electric air-source and geothermal heat pumps. Gas absorption heat pumps fall under Nicor Gas or Peoples Gas rebate programs, which have separate eligibility criteria.
No, ComEd and Ameren Illinois are separate service territories. Ameren Illinois customers (central and southern Illinois) apply through the Ameren Energy Efficiency Program, which has its own trade ally directory and rebate tiers.
Trade-ally point-of-sale rebates are applied to the invoice at install. Mail-in rebates for customer-filed applications take 6–8 weeks from receipt of the complete submission to the mailed check.
Not as of April 2026. Illinois is in the HEEHRA pending category, with the ICC targeting a Q3 2026 portal open. ComEd trade allies are preparing for HEEHRA certification but cannot file HEEHRA paperwork until the state portal goes live.
Mechanical and electrical permits are required in most Illinois jurisdictions, and ComEd trade allies handle permitting as part of the install. Permit fees are not reimbursed by the rebate but are typically included in the contractor quote.
