HEAT PUMP REBATES IN NASHVILLE, TN

One program serves Nashville addresses: Nashville Electric Service (NES).

That is the honest count, not a shortlist we trimmed. Below is what it pays, what it asks of the equipment, and how you claim it. The rest of Tennessee is listed underneath so you can see the whole picture, but only the program above is one you can count on at this address.

Nashville Electric Service (NES)

YOU FILE THIS AFTER INSTALL

Up to $800

TVA EnergyRight rebate delivered through this local power company: up to $800 air-source heat pump or $800 ductless mini-split (geothermal $1,500 also available). Requires replacing existing electric heat (no gas-to-electric); TVA Quality Contractor Network installer required. Confirm local participation. NES also runs income-qualified Home Uplift (avg ~$10,000 in free upgrades, <=200% FPL).

Equipment has to hit: Air-source heat pump >=15 SEER2 (TVA Preferred tier higher); ductless mini-split >=17 SEER2. ENERGY STAR-class equipment.
Stacking: Stacks with other TVA EnergyRight measures on the SAME project (heat pump water heater, duct sealing, insulation, air sealing) for roughly $2,100 combined; one heat-pump rebate per system, not combinable with a second HP rebate on the same unit. No federal 25C/25D (expired 12/31/2025) and no DOE HEAR/HOMES (ended 2026) to stack. Separate DOWNSTREAM path: NES Home Uplift gives income-qualified customers (<=200% FPL) an average ~$10,000 in free upgrades incl. heat pump; not stacked on the standard rebate for the same measure.
Limits: Must replace an existing electric heating source (electric furnace, strip/resistance heat, or older heat pump); gas-to-electric conversion does NOT qualify. Installer must be a TVA EnergyRight Quality Contractor Network (QCN) member; contractor initiates the claim within 90 days of completion, homeowner completes the claim within 60 days. Program funded through 2027.

How current this is

Tennessee program terms verified 2026-07. Programs change their terms, their budgets run out, and some close mid-year. Every amount here is an estimate until it is checked against your exact address and the equipment you actually install, which is what your quote does.

Rebate amounts are estimates and subject to change. Verify current program terms and eligibility before quoting a final net price.
Eligibility varies by income, equipment efficiency, utility territory, and program funding availability.
State and utility programs only. Federal 25C/25D tax credits expired 12/31/2025 and the DOE HEAR/HOMES rebate programs ended 5/29/2026; neither is included.
After-install rebates are claimed by the homeowner after installation and are not guaranteed at the point of sale.
