Professional Duke Energy HVAC Rebates in Asheville & Western NC

Duke Energy customers in Western North Carolina can save significant money on HVAC upgrades through the Smart $aver rebate program — and Quality Comfort handles the paperwork for you.

Duke Energy Smart $aver HVAC Rebates

As of 2025, Duke Energy offers the following rebates for residential HVAC equipment through the Smart $aver program: Heat pump replacement: up to $500 rebate. Air conditioner replacement: up to $300 rebate. These rebates apply to qualifying ENERGY STAR certified equipment that meets Duke Energy's efficiency standards. The rebates increased in January 2025 after approval by the North Carolina Utilities Commission.

Income-Qualified Customers Get More

Duke Energy's income-qualified program offers dramatically larger incentives — up to $8,000 for HVAC replacement (increased from $6,000 in 2025). If your household income qualifies, this can cover a substantial portion of a new heat pump or HVAC system. Eligibility depends on income level, home type, and your Duke Energy service area (Duke Energy Carolinas or Duke Energy Progress).

How to Qualify for Duke Energy Rebates

To qualify for Smart $aver HVAC rebates, you must: be a Duke Energy residential customer, complete a free Home Energy Check within the past 24 months, use a licensed and insured HVAC contractor for installation, and install equipment that meets Duke Energy's efficiency requirements. Quality Comfort is a participating contractor — we handle the rebate paperwork as part of every qualifying installation.

Stack Your Savings

Duke Energy rebates can be combined with other incentives for maximum savings. You may also qualify for Energy Saver NC rebates (up to $8,000 for heat pumps) and federal tax credits up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act. On a qualifying heat pump installation, these combined incentives can reduce your out-of-pocket cost by $3,000–$10,000+.
