How much can you save on a Lennox heat pump water heater? Las Vegas homeowners can stack multiple incentive programs: NV Energy PowerShift rebates ($250–$550 for qualifying heat pumps, verify tiers at nvenergy.com), expected HEEHR rebates (up to $8,000 for qualifying households), and Lennox manufacturer rebates (up to $1,800). Combined with financing that includes no payments for 12 months, the out-of-pocket cost of a Lennox heat pump water heater can be dramatically reduced. Call (702) 567-0707 for a personalized savings estimate.
Note on the federal tax credit: The 25C tax credit that previously offered up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pump water heaters expired December 31, 2025 and is not available for 2026 installations. Equipment installed in 2025 or earlier may still be claimed on that year's federal return (Form 5695). Federal-tax-credit references below describe how that worked for prior-year claims; for 2026, NV Energy PowerShift + HEEHR + manufacturer rebates are the active savings.
Every Rebate, Tax Credit, and Incentive for Lennox Heat Pump Water Heaters in Las Vegas
The upfront cost of a Lennox heat pump water heater is higher than a standard gas or electric unit, installed prices range from $2,900 for a 50-gallon model to $4,600 for an 80-gallon model. But that sticker price is misleading, because it does not account for the combination of utility rebates, manufacturer incentives, expected federal rebates (HEEHR), and energy savings that make heat pump water heaters the most affordable option over their lifetime.
The incentive landscape for heat pump water heaters in 2026 remains strong for Las Vegas homeowners: NV Energy PowerShift, expected HEEHR rebates, and Lennox manufacturer incentives can often be stacked on the same installation. (The federal 25C tax credit expired December 31, 2025 and is not available for 2026 installs.) This page breaks down every program, active and expired, who qualifies, how to apply, and how we handle the paperwork for you.

NV Energy PowerShift Rebates
NV Energy's PowerShift program offers rebates for energy-efficient equipment installations in Southern Nevada. This is currently the most accessible rebate program for Las Vegas homeowners installing heat pump water heaters.
Program Details
- Rebate amount: up to $550 (PowerShift cash rebate; verify tiers at nvenergy.com) for qualifying energy-efficient equipment
- Status: currently active
- Eligibility: NV Energy residential customers installing qualifying equipment in existing homes
- Equipment requirements: heat pump water heaters must meet program efficiency thresholds, all Lennox heat pump water heater models (40, 50, 65, and 80 gallon) meet or exceed these requirements with UEF ratings up to 4.01
- Application process: The Cooling Company submits the rebate application on your behalf after installation, including all required documentation, equipment specifications, and proof of installation
- Processing timeline: rebate checks are typically issued 6 to 8 weeks after application approval
How TCC Handles Your PowerShift Rebate
You do not need to navigate NV Energy's rebate process yourself. After installing your Lennox heat pump water heater, we compile the equipment serial numbers, efficiency ratings, installation documentation, and your account information, then submit the complete rebate application to NV Energy on your behalf. We track the application status and notify you when your rebate check is on the way.
Federal Tax Credit (25C), Prior-Year Claims Only
Under the Inflation Reduction Act, qualifying heat pump water heaters were eligible for the 25C federal tax credit, which directly reduced the federal tax you owed, dollar for dollar. That credit expired December 31, 2025 and is not available for 2026 installations. Equipment installed in 2025 or earlier may still be claimed on that installation year's federal return (Form 5695). For 2026 installs, active savings come from NV Energy PowerShift, expected HEEHR rebates, and Lennox manufacturer rebates, not the 25C credit.
Program Details (Historical, Installs Through December 31, 2025)
- Credit amount: up to $2,000 per year for qualifying heat pump water heaters
- Type: nonrefundable tax credit, reduced your tax liability for the year of install; could not generate a refund beyond what you owed
- Status: expired December 31, 2025, not available for equipment installed in 2026
- Prior-year eligibility: homeowners who installed qualifying equipment in their primary residence on or before December 31, 2025 may claim on that year's federal return, confirm eligibility with your tax professional
- Equipment requirements: the heat pump water heater must be Energy Star certified and meet applicable efficiency criteria. All Lennox heat pump water heater models are Energy Star certified.
- How to claim (2025 or earlier installs): file IRS Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits) with the federal return for the year of installation. Include the manufacturer certification statement and proof of purchase.
- Important note: there is no replacement federal tax credit for heat pump water heaters installed in 2026.
Documentation We Provide
After your Lennox heat pump water heater installation, we provide you with full documentation for your rebate applications, and, for installs completed in 2025 or earlier, the records needed for any prior-year federal tax credit claim: the manufacturer certification statement showing Energy Star qualification, the detailed invoice with equipment model number and efficiency rating, and proof of installation date. (The 25C federal tax credit expired December 31, 2025 and is not available for 2026 installations.) Give these documents to your tax preparer if you are claiming a 2025 install on Form 5695.
HEEHR Federal Rebates (High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate)
The HEEHR program is a separate federal incentive funded under the Inflation Reduction Act that provides point-of-sale rebates, meaning the discount is applied at the time of purchase, reducing your upfront cost immediately rather than waiting for a tax credit at filing time.
Program Details
- Rebate amount: up to $8,000 for heat pump water heaters
- Type: point-of-sale rebate, reduces the amount you pay at installation
- Income eligibility: full rebate available to households with income below 80% of area median income (AMI). Partial rebate (50% of full amount) available to households between 80% and 150% of AMI. Households above 150% AMI are not eligible for HEEHR.
- Nevada status: the HEEHR program is expected to become available in Nevada during 2026 as the state finalizes its implementation plan with the U.S. Department of Energy. Exact launch date and program specifics are pending.
- Stacking: HEEHR rebates may be combinable with NV Energy PowerShift and Lennox manufacturer rebates depending on Nevada's final program rules. The expired 25C federal tax credit is not available for 2026 installations.
How HEEHR Differs from the Expired 25C Tax Credit
The former 25C federal tax credit reduced your tax bill when you filed your return, you paid the full installation cost upfront and received the benefit months later, and only for installs through December 31, 2025. HEEHR rebates are applied at the point of sale, reducing what you owe at installation time. For qualifying households, that eliminates the cash flow challenge of paying full price and waiting for reimbursement. For 2026 installations, HEEHR (once live in Nevada) may be combinable with NV Energy PowerShift and Lennox manufacturer rebates depending on Nevada's final program rules, not the expired 25C credit.
What to Do Now
Even before HEEHR launches in Nevada, you can move forward with your Lennox heat pump water heater installation and take advantage of the currently active incentives (NV Energy PowerShift and Lennox manufacturer rebates; the federal 25C tax credit expired December 31, 2025 and is not available for 2026 installations). If HEEHR becomes retroactively available for equipment installed before the program launch, we will notify our customers and assist with the application. Call (702) 567-0707 and we will advise on the optimal timing based on the latest program status.
Lennox Manufacturer Rebates
Lennox offers direct manufacturer rebates on qualifying water heater installations through authorized dealers. These rebates are in addition to utility rebates and other programs such as HEEHR (once available in Nevada).
Program Details
- Rebate amount: up to $1,800 on qualifying Lennox water heater equipment
- Financing promotion: no payments for 12 months on qualifying installations through authorized Lennox financing partners
- Eligibility: must be purchased and installed through an authorized Lennox dealer, The Cooling Company is a Lennox Premier Dealer, the highest dealer designation available
- Seasonal promotions: Lennox periodically offers additional seasonal rebates and bonus incentives. Check our promotions page for current offers.
- Application: manufacturer rebates are processed at the point of sale, we apply the rebate directly to your invoice, so you see the savings immediately
Why the Dealer Matters for Manufacturer Rebates
Lennox manufacturer rebates are only available through authorized Lennox dealers. Purchasing a Lennox water heater from a non-authorized source or having it installed by a non-authorized contractor means you forfeit the manufacturer rebate entirely. As a Lennox Premier Dealer, The Cooling Company has full access to every Lennox rebate program and can process them directly at the time of sale.
Stacking Incentives, Your Maximum Savings Calculation
The most powerful aspect of these incentive programs is that they can be combined. Here is an example showing how incentive stacking works for a Las Vegas homeowner installing a 65-gallon Lennox heat pump water heater.
Example: 65-Gallon Lennox Heat Pump Water Heater
| Line Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Installed cost (equipment + labor + permits) | $3,800 |
| NV Energy PowerShift rebate (example amount) | -$1,500 |
| Lennox manufacturer rebate | -$500 |
| Estimated net cost after incentives (2026) | $1,800 |
In this scenario, active 2026 incentives reduce the installed cost by $2,000 before energy savings, netting to roughly $1,800. That is before the $300 to $500 per year in energy savings that a heat pump water heater delivers over a standard electric tank. Equipment installed in 2025 or earlier may have additionally qualified for up to $2,000 via the expired 25C federal tax credit on that year's return (Form 5695).
Important: This calculation is illustrative for 2026 installations. Actual rebate amounts depend on the specific model installed, your NV Energy rebate approval amount, and current manufacturer promotions. Income-qualified households may reduce net cost further when HEEHR launches in Nevada. The purpose of this example is to demonstrate that stacking active programs is possible and that the net cost of a heat pump water heater is far lower than the sticker price suggests.
If HEEHR Becomes Available
For income-qualifying households, adding the HEEHR point-of-sale rebate (up to $8,000) to the calculation above would create substantial net savings even on the largest 80-gallon models. This is why we advise qualifying homeowners to consider heat pump water heaters as a priority upgrade, the financial case has never been stronger.
Energy Savings Beyond the Rebates
Rebates and incentives reduce your upfront cost, but the ongoing energy savings are where a heat pump water heater truly pays for itself. Lennox heat pump water heaters achieve up to 4.01 UEF, meaning they produce four units of hot water energy for every one unit of electricity consumed. This is roughly four times more efficient than a standard electric water heater and significantly more efficient than gas.
Annual Energy Cost Comparison
| Water Heater Type | Estimated Annual Energy Cost |
|---|---|
| Standard electric tank (0.90 UEF) | $500 - $650 |
| Gas tank (0.60 - 0.70 UEF) | $350 - $500 |
| Lennox heat pump (3.50 - 4.01 UEF) | $100 - $175 |
Over a 10-year lifespan, the energy savings from a Lennox heat pump water heater amount to $2,500 to $5,000 compared to a standard electric tank, and $1,500 to $3,500 compared to a gas tank. When combined with the rebates and incentives outlined above, the total cost of ownership for a Lennox heat pump water heater is lower than any conventional alternative.

By that point, the rebates and energy savings may have already covered a significant portion of the balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I claim multiple rebates and credits on the same Lennox heat pump water heater?
Yes, for currently active programs on 2026 installations. The NV Energy PowerShift rebate and Lennox manufacturer rebate are separate programs administered by different entities and can typically be stacked on the same installation. The HEEHR program, once available in Nevada, may also be combinable with those programs for qualifying households depending on Nevada's final program rules. The federal 25C tax credit expired December 31, 2025 and is not available for 2026 installations (prior-year claims only for equipment installed in 2025 or earlier). We calculate your total eligible incentives during your free assessment so you know the net cost before committing.
Do I need to be an NV Energy customer to get the PowerShift rebate?
Yes. The PowerShift program is funded by NV Energy for its residential electricity customers. If your home receives electricity from NV Energy (which covers nearly all of the Las Vegas Valley), you are eligible to apply. Your NV Energy account number is required on the application, we include it when we submit on your behalf.
What is the income limit for HEEHR rebates?
HEEHR provides full rebates (up to $8,000) to households with income below 80% of the area median income (AMI) for Clark County. Households between 80% and 150% of AMI qualify for 50% of the rebate amount. Households above 150% AMI are not eligible for HEEHR but can still receive the NV Energy PowerShift rebate and Lennox manufacturer rebates. (The federal 25C tax credit expired December 31, 2025 and is not available for 2026 installations.) Income limits are based on household size and are updated annually.
When will HEEHR be available in Nevada?
The HEEHR program is expected to launch in Nevada during 2026 as the state finalizes its implementation plan with the U.S. Department of Energy. The exact start date has not been announced. We are tracking the program status and will notify customers as soon as applications open. In the meantime, the NV Energy PowerShift rebate and Lennox manufacturer rebates are currently available. (The federal 25C tax credit expired December 31, 2025 and is not available for 2026 installations.)
How long does it take to receive rebate payments?
Timelines vary by program. Lennox manufacturer rebates are applied at point of sale, instant savings on your invoice. NV Energy PowerShift rebate checks are typically issued 6 to 8 weeks after application approval. For equipment installed in 2025 or earlier, any eligible 25C federal tax credit is claimed when you file that year's federal income tax return (Form 5695), the 25C credit is not available for 2026 installations. HEEHR rebates, once available, will be point-of-sale, reducing your cost at the time of installation.
Do all Lennox heat pump water heater models qualify for these incentives?
All Lennox heat pump water heater models (40, 50, 65, and 80 gallon) are Energy Star certified and meet the efficiency requirements for NV Energy PowerShift rebates. The specific NV Energy rebate amount may vary by model and efficiency rating. Energy Star qualification also satisfied the expired 25C federal tax credit for installs completed on or before December 31, 2025. HEEHR eligibility requirements are pending Nevada's program launch. Lennox manufacturer rebates apply to all heat pump water heater models purchased through an authorized Premier Dealer.
I already have a gas water heater, is it worth switching to a heat pump model?
For most Las Vegas homeowners, yes. A Lennox heat pump water heater costs $100 to $175 per year to operate, compared to $350 to $500 for a typical gas tank. That is $200 to $375 in annual energy savings. Over a 10-year lifespan, you save $2,000 to $3,750 in operating costs alone. When you add the rebates and incentives that offset the higher upfront cost, the total cost of ownership for a heat pump model is typically lower than a gas replacement, especially for the 65 and 80-gallon models where the rebate amounts are largest. We run the specific numbers for your household during your free assessment.
What if I install now and HEEHR launches later, can I apply retroactively?
This depends on how Nevada structures its HEEHR implementation. Some states may allow retroactive applications for equipment installed after a certain date. We are tracking this closely and will notify all heat pump water heater customers if retroactive applications become available. Regardless, the currently active incentives (NV Energy PowerShift and Lennox manufacturer rebates) provide substantial savings today, there is no need to wait for HEEHR to make the investment worthwhile.
