Heat Pump Incentive (Alaska Power & Telephone)
Run by Alaska Power & Telephone Company (AP&T)
Alaska Power & Telephone pays its electric customers $500 (or the heat pump's cost, if less) after a new air-source or ground-source heat pump is installed and inspected. Sealaska shareholders can get another $500 from Sealaska, for $1,000 total.
Amounts
How much you get
AP&T pays the lesser of $500 or the cost of the heat pump including installation, once AP&T staff verify the system is present and operational. The amount depends on which of these fits your install.
| What you install | You get |
|---|---|
| AP&T customers | $500 |
| Sealaska shareholders in AP&T's southeast Alaska service areas (AP&T plus Sealaska match) | $1,000 |
Eligibility
Do I qualify?
You need to meet all 6 of these.
The home must be in a community where AP&T's regulated power subsidiary, Alaska Power Company, provides electric service, and service must be active at the address when you apply.
Air-source or ground-source heat pump, installed new (not used or salvaged).
One incentive per customer, per legal address.
Not eligible if more than 50% of the heat pump's cost was paid by a third-party grant, housing authority, government agency or other agency.
Renters can apply. In a landlord-tenant situation the person who bought the heat pump gets the payment, unless the two agree otherwise.
The extra $500 match is only for Sealaska shareholders installing heat pumps in AP&T's southeast Alaska service areas; AP&T checks shareholder status with Sealaska.
