Frequently Asked Questions

Does my installer have to be a licensed contractor? 

Expand
Yes, a licensed mechanical contractor must perform the work. We do not provide rebates for self-installed or DIY projects.

What is an electric furnace and why should I replace it with a heat pump? 

Expand
Think of an electric furnace like a large hair dryer.  Air gets pulled over electric heating elements, which heat the air, and then the hot air gets pushed into rooms through a system of duct work. Today's heat pump can reduce your electricity use for heating by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heating such as electric furnaces and baseboard heaters.

Who is eligible to receive a rebate? 

Expand
Dominion Energy South Carolina residential electric customers are eligible to receive a rebate. 

If I receive my electricity from a co-op and natural gas from Dominion Energy South Carolina, can I qualify for the rebates? 

Expand
No, you must receive residential electric service from Dominion Energy South Carolina.

How long do I have to apply for my rebate, once my new heat pump is installed?

Expand
You must submit your application along with a copy of proof of purchase (detailed installation invoice) within 90 days of installation. 

Will I receive my rebate as a check or bill credit? 

Expand
All rebates are paid by check to the account holder. 

How long will it take for me to receive my check? 

Expand
The average processing time is 4-6 weeks. Please be aware that during peak heating and cooling seasons, we receive a large volume of applications. To ensure your check will be delivered in a timely manner, please use the checklist provided with each application. NOTE: Failure to include proof of purchase (detailed installation invoice) is the most common reason for delays in receiving a check.
