Pittsburgh HVAC rebates & energy savings — handled for you

Duquesne Light and Peoples Gas put real money on efficient heating and cooling. We confirm eligibility, stack utility rebates with manufacturer offers and Synchrony financing, and file the paperwork — without pitching expired federal tax credits.

Short answer: most Carnegie and Greater Pittsburgh homeowners qualify for utility rebates — Duquesne Light on electric measures (heat pumps, ductless, AC, heat-pump water heaters, thermostats) and Peoples Gas on high-efficiency furnaces, boilers, and gas tankless. Amounts change with efficiency ratings and funding. Federal 25C/25D credits expired 12/31/2025. Figures below reflect published ranges as of June 2026 published utility materials; we verify your meter and equipment before you sign.

Pittsburgh Rebate Finder

What are you upgrading?

Pick your equipment to see current Duquesne Light and Peoples Gas rebates — we handle the paperwork and stack utility rebates with manufacturer offers and financing.

Select the equipment you are considering

Rebate amounts are current published estimates and depend on equipment efficiency, utility eligibility, and program funding. Duquesne Light Act 129 Phase V amounts continue to finalize. Federal 25C/25D tax credits expired 12/31/2025. We confirm exact eligibility before any work.

How savings stack

Utility + manufacturer + financing — in the right order

Confirm your utilities

Duquesne Light for most Allegheny electric; Peoples Gas (or Columbia Gas in some suburbs) for gas. Your bill decides which programs apply.

Right-size the equipment

Rebates depend on efficiency ratings. Oversized junk rarely qualifies — and costs more to run. We load-calculate when sizing matters.

Stack what actually stacks

Utility rebate + manufacturer offer + Synchrony financing on qualifying projects. We never lead with expired federal 25C/25D tax credits.

We handle the paperwork

Eligibility confirmed at quote time, documentation prepared, submission handled so the money shows up — not a PDF you chase alone.

Pair rebates with Synchrony financing (including 0% for up to 60 months on qualifying equipment) and budget against our transparent Pittsburgh price bands.

Energy savings

Upgrades that actually move your Duquesne Light & Peoples Gas bills

Rebates are the headline; efficiency is the monthly win. Start with the right system for your home type — then keep it tuned.

Cold-climate / dual-fuel heat pumps

Right-sized heat pumps (often dual-fuel with your gas furnace as cold-snap backup) cut waste while handling Allegheny winters — and may unlock Duquesne Light incentives.

High-efficiency furnaces & boilers

When gas is the right path, 95%+ AFUE equipment and properly piped boiler replacements qualify for Peoples Gas EnergyLink rebates — with Manual J sizing so you’re not paying to heat the street.

Heating services →

Ductless comfort zones

Additions, finished attics, and forever-cold rooms waste energy when the whole house is oversized to chase them. A single ductless zone often saves more than a bigger furnace.

Tune-ups & Star Maintenance

Dirty coils, clogged filters, and neglected boilers burn dollars quietly. Annual care keeps efficiency where the rebate paperwork said it would be.

FAQs

Rebate & savings questions we hear most

What HVAC rebates are available in Pittsburgh right now?

Most homeowners see money from their utility: Duquesne Light Act 129 programs for qualifying heat pumps, ductless, central AC, heat-pump water heaters, and smart thermostats; Peoples Gas EnergyLink for high-efficiency furnaces, boilers, tankless water heaters, and thermostats. Amounts depend on equipment efficiency and program funding — use our rebate finder on this page for current published ranges, then we verify your address at quote time.

Can I still get the federal 25C energy tax credit?

No. Federal 25C/25D energy-efficiency tax credits expired December 31, 2025. In 2026, plan around utility rebates, manufacturer promotions, and financing — not expired federal credits.

Can I stack Duquesne Light and Peoples Gas rebates?

Sometimes on the same project when you install both electric and gas measures (for example a dual-fuel heat pump plus a furnace, or a thermostat rebate from one utility). Rules vary by measure. We check stacking for your specific scope before you approve work.

Who files the rebate paperwork?

Six Star handles it. We confirm eligibility, collect model numbers and invoices, and submit (or prepare your claim) so you actually receive what you qualify for.

Do rebates change the installed price on my quote?

We show the equipment and labor price clearly, then net out rebates and promotions you’re expected to receive. Published finder amounts are estimates — your written quote reflects what’s verified for your home.

What about Pennsylvania income-qualified home energy rebates?

Penn Energy Savers / state Home Energy Rebates have been rolling out with income limits and contractor requirements. Ask us to check whether your household and project may qualify as programs open — we won’t invent amounts before they’re confirmed.
