Financing & Rebates

How financing works

1

Get your quote

We size the system and price the job in writing.

2

Pick a plan

We match you to your lender options, then you apply directly.

3

Stay comfortable

Enjoy your brand new system, for one low monthly payment.

What You Can Finance

  • New furnaces, boilers & AC
  • Cold-climate heat pumps
  • Ductless mini-splits
  • Indoor air-quality upgrades

Financing is provided by third-party lenders and is subject to credit approval. Rates and terms vary by lender and by the system being installed, so ask us for current options before you decide.

Rebates

What you can actually get back in the Northland

Which rebates apply to you depends on who bills you, not on where you shop. Check the utility names on your power and gas bills, then read the matching card. We will tell you what your job qualifies for when we quote it, and get you the paperwork.

The federal tax credits ended after 2025

The 25C efficiency credit and the 25D clean energy credit both expired for anything placed in service after December 31, 2025. That covers the credits people still ask us about: up to $2,000 on a heat pump, up to $600 on a furnace or boiler, and 30% on geothermal. If you had qualifying work finished on or before that date you can still claim it on that year's return, but there is no federal credit on a system we install today. Anyone telling you otherwise is quoting a page they haven't updated.

Minnesota's state rebates still haven't launched

Minnesota's federally funded Home Energy Rebates (HEAR and HOMES) have been announced for years and, as of the Department of Commerce's mid-2026 update, still have no launch date. Two things worth knowing: the rebates are income-qualified, and work finished before the program opens will not qualify retroactively. We are not going to tell you to put off a failing furnace waiting for it.
