Are you thinking about replacing your water heater? Looking to purchase one that will save you money while helping you do your part for climate change? Did you purchase a water heater on or after June 1, 2023, and are looking for a rebate?

You’re in luck! The City of Missoula and Missoula County are partnering to offer a local $500 rebate for heat pump water heaters for projects completed in Missoula County. Fill out a satisfaction survey after your project is complete and receive an additional $75. Plus, expanded federal tax credits can now cover 30% of project costs!

More than 500 types of electric water heaters are eligible for this rebate. A full list is available online when you click on the "Water Heaters (Electric)" button.

Why replace your water heater?

Heat pump water hearts are ultra efficient and offer several benefits to both save you money and keep you comfortable:

• Warm your water without warming the planet.
• In most cases, heat pump water heaters can lower your energy costs.
• These appliances are powered by electricity and won't create dangerous indoor air quality, unlike leaky methane or propane water heaters.

This program is part of our Electrify Missoula campaign, a joint effort with Climate Smart Missoula, Missoula County and the City of Missoula to transition Missoula away from fossil fuels and towards a healthier, more affordable clean energy future.
