Claiming Evergy and Midwest Energy Kansas Heat Pump Rebates
For a central system, Evergy pays up to $1,000, while a single-room unit known as a mini-split gets $150. To reach the full $1,000, the label must show a cooling efficiency rating, known as SEER2, of 20 or higher. Three steps apply to homeowners who install qualifying equipment from January 1, 2026 onward:
- Before you buy, confirm in the Evergy rebate chart that your current heater qualifies.
- Hire an Evergy-Authorized Trade Ally, meaning a local heating contractor who is registered with the utility.
- After installation, have that contractor file your application in the Evergy residential rebate portal.
Members of a customer-owned cooperative can choose Midwest Energy How$mart in place of a cash rebate. Your upfront equipment cost is covered by this on-bill financing, and you pay it back as a monthly charge on your utility bill. Call 1-800-222-3121 for a Midwest Energy audit first, then pick a contractor who signed a Contractor Master Agreement.
Free Weatherization and State Rebate Plans for Lower-Income Homes
Two federal funding tracks are being set up by the Kansas Energy Office so residents can upgrade their heating and cooling equipment. The tracks go by the names Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates and Home Efficiency Rebates. Right now both are still being planned, so no amounts or income rules have been published. You can join the update list through the Kansas Corporation Commission website, even though applications are not open today.
If your family is on a tight budget, waiting for those federal funds is not required. Low-income households can apply now for the Kansas Weatherization Assistance Program and receive free home energy upgrades. Income-qualified residents across Kansas are served by this program, which the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation runs. No fixed income percentage appears online, so reach out to the agency directly to see if you qualify.
Fuel Switching Limits, Plus Tax Credit Changes in Kansas
Heating with natural gas is the main choice for about six in ten area households, per federal energy data. Electricity serves as the main heating source for only about one household in four. That split matters, since Evergy heat pump rules do not cover homes moving away from a natural gas furnace. Money back is only possible if you replace a heat pump already in the home, an electric furnace, or electric baseboard heat. Under the Kansas Energy Efficiency Investment Act, these utility incentives remain available until December 31, 2027. In 2024, wind supplied 52% of electricity generation on the grid that powers Kansas electric heaters.
The federal 25C tax credit also ended for installs after 31 December 2025, as the Internal Revenue Service confirms. Internal Revenue Service rules mean equipment put in service after that date gets zero federal tax discount.
Common Questions About Kansas Heat Pump Rebates
What do Kansas heating and cooling rebates offer for ground source units and lower efficiency ratings?
Evergy pays in tiers for replacements of failed or working electric equipment, plus central air conditioners paired with electric heat. For standard air source units, the rebate is $500 at SEER2 15, $700 at SEER2 16, and $900 at SEER2 17-19.99. A ground source heat pump also earns $1,000 when it replaces an air conditioner used with electric heat or an older heat pump.
Does the federal heat pump tax credit still exist in 2026?
No, Congress ended the residential energy credits early with Public Law 119-21, which was signed on July 4, 2025. The One, Big, Beautiful Bill is the common name for that law. That no credit applies in 2026 is confirmed by Internal Revenue Service Fact Sheet FS-2025-05, issued on August 21, 2025.
Do financing options or tax rebates for heat pumps and insulation still exist in Kansas?
State tax rebates do not exist in Kansas right now. The Kansas Energy Office keeps recruiting contractors for its upcoming program. Through How$mart, however, Midwest Energy cooperative customers can bundle insulation and air sealing with new heating and cooling systems. A monthly surcharge on your electric bill handles repayment, and it stays linked to the home's location rather than to a personal loan.
Get Kansas installer quotes with the rebates taken off
Most rebates on this page are paid through the installer or need the installer's paperwork, so the quote is where the money is settled. Tell us the ZIP code and what you want installed, and installers who work with these programs send a written price with the rebates taken off.
