Did you know that heating and cooling energy use accounts for nearly half of your home's energy costs? Don’t let upfront costs keep you from making your home more comfortable and energy efficient. ComEd heating and cooling discounts make it easier to invest in efficient heating and cooling equipment for your home and save on your energy costs in the process. Products must comply with standards established by the Air Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) or be ENERGY STAR®- certified (smart thermostats).
To access the discounts below:
Visit our database if you are:
Discount: Up to $2,000
How to apply: No application necessary! Discount provided at the point of sale by an eligible distributor.
Note: Equipment eligibility verified via the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). Minimum efficiency requirement of ≥ 16 SEER/15.2 SEER2. Equipment must be installed by a Service Provider to qualify for discounts. Self-installation does not qualify.
During winter, heat pumps transfer heat from the cold outdoors to deliver warmth into your home. During the summer, they do the opposite. Because heat is moved instead of generated, heat pumps provide up to four times the amount of energy they consume.
Visit the ENERGY STAR® website for more information.
Discount: Up to $1,350
Note: Equipment eligibility verified via the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). Eligibility requirements ≥ 17 SEER and ≥ 9.5 HSPF and ≥ 16.1 SEER2 and ≥ 9 HSPF2. Equipment must be installed by a Service Provider to qualify for discounts. Self-installation does not qualify.
Mini-split heat pumps are a heating and cooling solution for homes that do not require ductwork. The system uses a compressor pump to circulate refrigerant liquids between two heat exchanger coils (one outside, one inside). The indoor unit(s) is located directly in the living space of your home. By eliminating the need for ductwork to/from vents, system efficiency increases because heated or cooled air isn’t lost through duct leaks.

Effective July 1, 2023, Central Air Conditioner units are no longer part of the Home Heating & Cooling offering. Energy-efficient heat pump technology is becoming a more common way to heat and cool your home and manage your energy costs. Continuing to offer higher heat pump incentives provides a compelling opportunity to replace less efficient heating and cooling systems for nearly the same cost as CACs.

Visit our database if you are a residential customer looking for a contractor enrolled in the ComEd EESP network.
Discount: Up to $9,000 per home
How to apply: For residential geothermal heat pump installations, contact a contractor enrolled in the ComEd EESP network. All ground source heat pump projects must receive pre-approval. They will supply you with information on the requirements to receive geothermal discounts, including the pre-approval process.
Note: Installation must be completed by an ICC certified ComEd EESP with geothermal certification.
Geothermal systems use the relatively constant temperatures underground to provide efficient, year-round heating, cooling and water heating. Also known as ground-source or earth-coupled heat pumps, geothermal systems are typically the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly option available.
Discount: $1,275 – $1,800
Rebate: $1,275 on ≥ 15 EER$1,500 on ≥ 17 EER $1,800 on ≥ 20 EER
Geothermal heat pumps are a ground system that use the earth’s temperature to produce reliable and cost-effective energy for heating, cooling, and/or water heating. Geothermal systems take advantage of the relatively constant below-ground temperature, utilizing pipe buried in the ground (loop system) to extract or dissipate heat. During heating season, the heat exchanger transfers heat collected from the ground loop system to the indoor heat pump which transfers it into the indoor air delivery system to heat the home. This process is reversed during cooling season, removing heat in the home and transferring it to the ground.
Discount: $100
Just like regular maintenance keeps your car running smoothly and can improve your gas mileage, regular tune ups of your heating and cooling system can improve your home efficiency and comfort. To ensure that your air source heat pump is working at full capacity, take advantage of ComEd’s $100 tune up discount. With an EESP expert cleaning and maintenance, the unit’s efficiency and life expectancy can be increased.
Discount: $35
Just like regular maintenance keeps your car running smoothly and can improve your gas mileage, regular tune-ups of your cooling system can improve your home efficiency and comfort. Central Air Conditioner tune-ups ensure the A/C system is running optimally. Basic cleaning, checking and maintenance for the entire system helps diagnose minor repair issues before they result in major system damages. This routine service ensures that the system is running as efficiently as possible and leaves system owners with a full refrigerant charge and a clean, healthy system that has been properly adjusted.
Note: Installation must be completed by a contractor enrolled in the ComEd EESP network. Discount to be provided at time of service.
Note: Smart thermostat must be fully installed, operational and connected to Wi-Fi in order to receive the rebate.
Start managing your home's heating and cooling costs with an ENERGY STAR certified smart thermostat. Connected to your Wi-Fi, a smart thermostat lets you monitor and control your home’s temperature from any web-enabled device so you can save money and energy whether you’re at home or on the go.
Discount: $250
Note: For forced air systems only. At least 50% of the duct system must be in unconditioned space, or in 70% semi-conditioned space(s). Required pre and post Cubic Feet of air Moved (CFM) readings at 25pa.
Note: Service must be completed by a contractor enrolled in the ComEd EESP network. Discount to be provided at time of service.
Ducts are used to distribute conditioned air throughout a home, for homes with forced-air heating and cooling systems. In your average home, anywhere from 20-30% of the air moving through the system can be lost due to leaks, holes or poorly connected ducts. This leads to higher utility bills and can result in difficulties keeping your home comfortable, no matter the thermostat setting.

A central air conditioner cools and dehumidifies your home. The system includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit uses refrigerant to remove heat and humidity from the air at the cooling coil. It then transfers the heat outside where it is released via the outdoor unit. The indoor unit also connects to your home’s ductwork and uses a furnace blower fan to circulate indoor air. The fan pushes the cooled air through the ducts and into rooms via supply vents, while drawing warmer room air back through return vent(s).

A furnace blower circulates air throughout your home. During heating season, your furnace heats the air and the blower pushes the heated air – typically to vents through ductwork – to ensure your home reaches the temperature set on your thermostat. There are several types of blower motors to choose from, but an electrically-commutated motor (ECM) offers the highest efficiency and energy savings. The ECM can also circulate cold air throughout your home during cooling season if you have a combined central air conditioning system.
An air source heat pump system absorbs heat from the outside air, even extremely cold air, and moves it into your home during heating season. The system uses a compressor to circulate refrigerant between two heat exchanger coils (one outside, one inside). Seasonal adjustments can be made, reversing the process during cooling season to absorb heat in the home and move it outside. Thus, an air source heat pump system provides your home with both heating and cooling options.
Ductless mini-split heat pumps are a heating solution for homes that do not require ductwork.
