Heat pumps · CT
Heat pumps in Connecticut.
Retire the oil tank. A heat pump warms, cools, and cuts what you spend to stay comfortable — designed with the panel and the roof, not as an afterthought.
Connecticut
What makes Connecticut different.
Typical homes here see about $0.25 / kWh and 1,283 kWh per kW per year. We size the system to your bill — then confirm it on the roof.
Which Energize CT rebate you qualify for turns on a single question: is the heat pump becoming your primary heat? Replacing oil, propane, gas or electric resistance puts you on the Energy Optimization rebate, which is far the larger of the two. Swapping one heat pump for another, cooling only, or conditioning new space puts you on the standard air-source rebate instead. They do not combine, and both amounts are in the cards beside this.
Helio designs the heat pump with the panel, the envelope, and — when the numbers say so — the array. If the rebate still leaves a gap, a Smart-E loan or a 12-year HVAC lease can close it.

Connecticut, specifically
What power has actually cost here.
Every savings figure on this site assumes your utility keeps raising its rate. So does every other company’s. The difference is that you can check ours — these are the federal government’s own published prices for Connecticut, next to the number we model.
| Last 5 years (2019–2024) | 5.6% |
|---|---|
| Last 10 years (2014–2024) | 3.8% |
| Since 2005 (2005–2024) | 4.0% |
| What Helio assumes | 4.0% |
No single window is the truth, which is exactly why anyone showing you one number for the next twenty-five years — including us — is showing you an assumption. Ask any installer what your savings look like at today’s rate with no increase at all. How the money works runs that comparison.
Who you buy power from here
Eversource, United Illuminating. Which one serves your address decides the tariff you can take and the credit you get for what the roof exports, so an advisor confirms it before anything is filed.
