Check which Pennsylvania programs you qualify for
This page lists every program we track in Pennsylvania. The finder narrows them to the ones that match your property — six questions, no account needed.
Start the rebate finder →Find Your Pennsylvania Rebates
Pennsylvania has no single statewide efficiency program. What you qualify for depends on
which utility bills you — and, because gas and electric service are often supplied by two
different companies, many households fall under two administrators at once. Enter your ZIP in the finder and, where both an electric and a gas utility serve your address, it resolves both. Rural electric cooperative territory in Pennsylvania is still being mapped, so if a co-op bills you, confirm your programs with the co-op directly.
Every program on this page is listed as its administrator publishes it, with a link to that source and the date we last checked it. Amounts, deadlines and funding status change without notice, so confirm with the administrator before you buy equipment or sign a contract.
Residential Energy Rebates in Pennsylvania
Your electric utility
PECO, PPL Electric Utilities, Duquesne Light, and FirstEnergy’s four Pennsylvania companies
(Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power and West Penn Power) each run their own residential rebates under
Act 129. Coverage is broadest for heat pumps, water heating, insulation and air sealing.
Amounts differ by utility for the same equipment, so the utility that bills you is the one that
decides what you get.
Your gas utility
UGI, Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Gas Works run separate rebates for gas
equipment — furnaces, boilers, combi boilers, tankless water heaters — and for
insulation and air sealing. These are additional to anything your electric utility offers, and
they are the ones most often missed.
Rural electric cooperatives
If a cooperative bills you rather than an investor-owned utility, your programs come from
the co-op. We track offerings from Bedford, United, Tri-County, Central, Claverack and Adams.
Co-op service territory is still being mapped, so the finder may not yet route these
automatically — check with your co-op directly if you are a member.
Income-qualified households
Pennsylvania’s Weatherization Assistance Program qualifies households at 200% of the federal
poverty level, and that figure is the same in every county. You may also qualify automatically,
whatever your income, if you receive SSI, TANF, LIHEAP, or a means-tested HUD or USDA housing
benefit. Several utilities run their own income-eligible audit-and-install programs alongside
it. The finder shows the limit for your household size.
Commercial Energy Rebates in Pennsylvania
Utility commercial programs
Each electric utility runs a commercial track, usually as a ladder rather than a menu:
a small-business program that covers a large share of project cost, an audit incentive, a
prescriptive catalog for standard measures, and a custom incentive for whatever is left.
Working them in that order is normally what gets the most covered.
Start with an assessment
For most commercial buildings the highest-value first step is an energy assessment, not
equipment. Several Pennsylvania utilities pay toward an ASHRAE Level 2 audit, and a few run
no-cost small-business energy checks with direct-install measures included.
State capital programs
The Commonwealth Financing Authority runs competitive grant and loan programs for larger
projects — high performance buildings, solar, and alternative and clean energy. These are
matched-funding programs with application rounds, aimed at municipal and larger commercial
applicants rather than routine equipment upgrades.
Federal Tax Provisions
Federal energy tax provisions may also apply to commercial projects in Pennsylvania. These
depend on your entity structure and tax position, so they are covered separately on our
federal energy incentives page. This is general
information, not tax advice — consult a qualified tax professional.
Commercial Projects: Work With an Energy Professional
Pennsylvania’s commercial programs reward sequencing. An assessment first tells you which
measures qualify and under which program, and several incentives require pre-approval before
work starts — begin the job and the incentive can be forfeited.
Talk to an energy professional before committing to a
scope.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I claim rebates from my electric and gas utility for the same project?
Often yes, because they are separate programs funded by separate utilities. A gas furnace
rebate from UGI and an insulation rebate from your electric utility are not the same money.
Confirm the stacking rules with each administrator before you rely on it.
Why do I get different amounts than someone in the next county?
Because Pennsylvania has no statewide efficiency program. Amounts are set by whichever
utility bills you, and neighboring territories can differ substantially for identical
equipment.
Do Pennsylvania commercial rebates require pre-approval before starting work?
Many do, particularly custom and prescriptive incentives. Starting a project before approval
can disqualify it entirely. Check the program’s own terms first — this is the single
most common way a commercial incentive is lost.
What if my utility is a rural electric cooperative?
Cooperatives run their own rebate programs, separate from the investor-owned utilities.
We track them, but co-op service territory is still being mapped, so contact your cooperative
directly to confirm what is available at your address.
How do I know these amounts are current?
Every program card carries the administrator’s own source link and the date we last checked
it. Amounts, deadlines and funding status change without notice, so confirm on the
administrator’s page before you buy equipment or sign a contract.

“All new construction projects are eligible for custom incentives.”
Our energy expert: Energy savings beyond the program's accepted baseline determine the construction incentive. Bring the design team and program reviewer together early enough to establish that baseline before equipment specifications are fixed. Program availability, incentive amounts, and eligibility requirements are subject to change. Contact Duquesne Light Company directly to confirm current program status, incentive levels, and application procedures before signing a contract or purchasing equipment. Pre-approval may be required before work begins; retroactive applications may not be accepted.
Small Business Direct Install
Estimated benefit: Up to 80% of material and labor costs, plus a free assessment, for small commercial accounts inside Duquesne Light’s demand ceiling. The program PDF limits eligibility to demand below 200 kW; the current webpage says below 300 kW.
Timing: The program began on June 1, 2026 and runs until May 31, 2031, if funding is available.
“less than 200 kW”
“Up to 80%”
Our energy expert: The program flyer limits this assessment and retrofit offer to businesses below 200 kW, while the current webpage advertises a higher cutoff. Have Duquesne Light resolve the discrepancy before relying on eligibility outside the flyer, and obtain the approved scope and customer contribution before authorizing work. Program availability, incentive amounts, and eligibility requirements are subject to change. Contact Duquesne Light Company directly to confirm current program status, incentive levels, and application procedures before signing a contract or purchasing equipment. Pre-approval may be required before work begins; retroactive applications may not be accepted.

Small Business Advantage Grant — 2026–2027 — Pennsylvania DEP
Estimated benefit: Lesser of 50%/$7,500 base; 65%/$9,750 if EJ area OR significant environmental savings; 80%/$12,000 if both.
Timing: Applications 2026-09-11 through 2027-03-19 or funds exhausted. Project period 2026-07-01 through 2027-06-30.
Our energy expert: The grant pays a share of eligible costs, with higher tiers tied to an environmental-justice location or significant environmental savings; both conditions are needed for the top tier. Applications run through March 19, 2027 or until funds are exhausted, and your business must pay the contractor before reimbursement, so plan the cash flow with the project estimate. Program availability, incentive amounts, and eligibility requirements are subject to change. Contact Pennsylvania DEP directly to confirm current program status, incentive levels, and application procedures before signing a contract or purchasing equipment. Pre-approval may be required before work begins; retroactive applications may not be accepted.
RISE PA — Small-scale Award Track — Pennsylvania DEP / PennTAP

Solar for Schools — grant — Pennsylvania DCED

Timing: Confirm the project-specific intake and the current funding position with Pennsylvania DCED before you commit to a budget.
Our energy expert: The September 2026 guide sets both the grant percentage and the dollar ceiling from the school’s aid ratio, so one flat percentage will not tell you what a given project can receive. Have the school business office work out the applicable ratio, and confirm that ratio, the ceiling and the current application window with Pennsylvania DCED before the solar designer finalizes the budget. Program availability, incentive amounts, and eligibility requirements are subject to change. Contact Pennsylvania DCED directly to confirm current program status, incentive levels, and application procedures before signing a contract or purchasing equipment. Pre-approval may be required before work begins; retroactive applications may not be accepted.

Natural Gas Water Heater Conversion Program
Estimated benefit: $200 bill credit standard tank; $500 for qualifying tankless, power-vent, direct-vent or condensing water heater

Our energy expert: PGW’s water-heater conversion credits distinguish a standard tank from qualifying tankless and vented equipment for eligible residential or commercial customers switching to gas. Confirm the conversion track with PGW before installation and ask separately whether any equipment rebate can be combined with it. Program availability, incentive amounts, and eligibility requirements are subject to change. Contact Philadelphia Gas Works directly to confirm current program status, incentive levels, and application procedures before signing a contract or purchasing equipment.
