Local Incentives

Goodyear, AZ Heat Pump Rebates & Incentives

Local and federal incentive programs can significantly reduce the cost of a new heat pump system. Here are the programs available to Goodyear homeowners.

Efficiency Arizona

Up to $8,000

This statewide program offers income-eligible homeowners up to $8,000 toward a qualifying heat pump for space heating or cooling. Applications are being accepted under the guidelines in effect since September 1, 2026, subject to funding and approval.

Eligibility: For homeowners who live in the home and meet the program’s income guidelines, generally household income at or below 150% of area median income or qualifying public assistance. The heat pump must meet program requirements and replace existing electric equipment; replacing a gas appliance with an electric one is not eligible under the current guidelines. Applicants must receive approval and use an Efficiency Arizona-qualified contractor.

Income-eligible Goodyear homeowners may be able to receive up to $8,000 through Efficiency Arizona for a qualifying heat pump project, subject to current rules, approval, and available funding. Palmetto can help homeowners apply and identify ways to maximize eligible rebates.

Incentive information is based on publicly available data as of 2026 and may change. Contact program administrators to verify current availability and eligibility requirements.

Climate Zones

Goodyear falls in USDA Hardiness Zone 13, with mild winters and intensely hot summers. The area's design temperatures—60°F for heating and 110°F for cooling—show why heat pumps need to handle substantial cooling demand while meeting modest winter heating needs. Palmetto understands Goodyear's climate and can recommend a system suited to local conditions. Explore other zones below or enter your ZIP code to confirm your zone.

Goodyear Electricity Prices

For Goodyear homeowners, electricity rates are one reason to look beyond a system’s purchase price.

Arizona’s average electricity price climbed from 12.5¢ per kWh in 2021 to 14.9¢ in 2024; the national average reached 16.5¢ that year.

A heat pump can deliver heating and cooling using less electricity than traditional HVAC—often 2–3 times as efficiently—so your home may need less power to stay comfortable.

Over time, lower electricity use can help soften the effect of rate increases in Goodyear. Actual savings depend on your home, system, utility rates, and energy use.

Goodyear Area Utility Providers

In Goodyear, APS electricity averaged 15.3¢ per kilowatt-hour in 2023. These are the latest utility figures available; 2024 data has not yet been released.

APS’s 2023 rate was 1.3¢ above Arizona’s 14¢ average and 0.7¢ below the national average of 16¢. These comparisons show where APS falls relative to each benchmark, but don’t explain what drives the differences.

Electricity costs matter, but so does how efficiently your HVAC system uses it. Heat pumps can deliver heating and cooling with less energy than traditional HVAC, potentially lowering total energy spending even where electricity rates are higher.

Repair versus replace

When a heat pump is in need of repair it is worth considering whether a replacement would be a better investment. While each case is unique, we generally recommend investing in a new unit when repairs exceed $5,000.

$5,000
Recommended repair threshold

A heat pump's lifetime is impacted by a number of factors including environment, use and the quality of the unit. It's important to choose the right unit for your climate zone and home's unique attributes.

When you are in need of repair, we recommend choosing a service provider that is an expert in the heat pump brand you have installed, and checking online reviews to ensure you are investing in the right level of service.

Potential repair Cost range Description
Capacitor Replacement $150 - $400 Common issue when unit struggles to start or makes a humming noise. Capacitors store the electrical energy needed to start the compressor and fan motors.
Refrigerant Recharge $250 - $750 Needed when the system loses cooling or heating efficiency due to low refrigerant levels. Includes leak detection, repair of minor leaks, and recharging the system to the manufacturer-specified level.
Reversing Valve Replacement $450 - $900 Required when the unit cannot switch between heating and cooling modes. The reversing valve directs refrigerant flow and is unique to heat pump systems.
Compressor Replacement $1,500 - $3,000 Major repair needed when the unit fails to heat or cool entirely. The compressor is the heart of the system, circulating refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor coils.
Evaporator/Condenser Coil Replacement $1,200 - $2,800 Replacement needed when coils develop leaks or corrosion that cannot be economically repaired. Coil damage reduces heat transfer efficiency and can cause refrigerant loss.
Control Board Replacement $500 - $1,200 Required when the system has electrical failures or erratic behavior. The control board manages all system operations including defrost cycles, fan speeds, and compressor staging.
Full System Replacement $4,500 - $8,000+ When repairs exceed the value of the unit or multiple major components fail simultaneously. Includes removal of the old system and installation of a new heat pump with updated refrigerant lines and electrical connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—heat pumps can make sense in Goodyear because they provide both cooling and heating, and the area’s long, hot season makes cooling performance especially important. Goodyear is in Climate Zone 13, with a design cooling temperature of 110°F and a design heating temperature of 60°F. Heat pumps can efficiently meet these mild heating needs while providing year-round comfort.

Arizona’s electricity price is 14.9¢ per kWh, but operating costs depend on your home, equipment efficiency, and usage.

No federal heat pump tax credit applies to systems installed in 2026.

Heat pumps can be highly efficient in Goodyear because the area’s winter design temperature is about 60°F, so they can move heat rather than generate it during relatively mild heating conditions. They also provide air conditioning for summer design temperatures near 110°F, though performance depends on equipment selection, installation, and proper sizing.

At Arizona’s average electricity price of 14.9¢ per kWh, actual operating costs depend on the heat pump’s efficiency, your home’s insulation, thermostat settings, and usage.
