Maryland HVAC rebates

Maryland homeowners may qualify for thousands in HVAC rebates through EmPOWER Maryland. Comfort Central finds the savings you qualify for and handles the paperwork — serving Hagerstown, MD and nearby Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

The programs

Maryland homeowners may qualify for EmPOWER Maryland incentives — up to roughly $15,000 toward qualifying whole-home improvements — plus rebates on high-efficiency heat pumps and HVAC equipment. Amounts vary by income, utility, and equipment.

01

EmPOWER Maryland — Home Performance with ENERGY STAR

Maryland's statewide energy-efficiency program. Qualifying whole-home improvements — insulation, air sealing, and high-efficiency HVAC — may earn up to roughly $15,000 in incentives for income-qualified households.

02

High-efficiency equipment rebates

Rebates may be available on qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and HVAC systems. Amounts vary by the equipment's efficiency rating and your utility provider, so the right system can pay you back twice.

03

Utility & manufacturer offers

Local utilities and equipment manufacturers periodically run their own rebates and seasonal promotions. We check what's active in your territory when we build your quote.

A note on the federal 25C tax credit

The federal 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement tax credit expired after December 31, 2025, and is no longer available. Maryland’s EmPOWER programs and utility or equipment rebates are now the main way to save on a new high-efficiency system.

Eligibility

It depends on your utility, household income, and the equipment or improvements you choose. Many Maryland homeowners qualify in some form. The fastest way to know is to have us review your home — for free.

What affects your eligibility

  • Your utility provider and service territory
  • Household income (some programs are income-based)
  • The efficiency rating of the equipment you install
  • Whether you're replacing a system or improving the whole home

Exact eligibility thresholds and program details vary by income and equipment. We confirm what applies to your home before you commit.
