Air Source Heat Pumps

Rebate Information for Performance Tested Comfort System (PTCS)

Lincoln Electric Cooperative will pay you $500-$1,000 if you purchase and install a qualifying air source heat pump system from a certified contractor. A $500 rebate will be paid when the majority of ducts are installed in a basement or conditioned crawlspace. A $1,000 rebate will be paid when the majority of ducts are installed in an unconditioned crawlspace or vented crawlspace, ducts are insulated and sealed to program specifications by a contractor approved to do duct sealing, and your system passes a PTCS test. (Contractor must have duct sealing checked on Certified Contractor List). Before making a purchase, be sure to review the attached Air Source Heat Pump Information and Rebate Forms so you are familiar with all program and contractor requirements.

Here's how to qualify for the rebate:
