Missoula City-County RebateAre you thinking about replacing your water heater? Looking to purchase one that will save you money while helping you do your part for climate change? Have you already purchased a heat pump water heater on or after May 1, 2025* and are looking for a rebate?
You’re in luck! The City of Missoula and Missoula County are partnering to offer a local $1,435 rebate for heat pump water heaters for projects completed in Missoula County. Plus, expanded federal tax credits can likely cover 30% of project costs! Eligible products can be found here. (*Did you purchase your water heater after June 1, 2023 but before May 1, 2025? While you aren’t eligible for the current rebate level, you’re still eligible for the old $500 rebate, which was funded by a different grant. If you’re in that category, contact [email protected] for assistance.) |
