Oklahoma Heat Pump Rebates & Incentives
State and federal incentive programs can significantly reduce the cost of a new heat pump system. Here are the programs available to Oklahoma homeowners.
PSO Home Heat Pump Rebates
$600 – $1,400PSO offers rebates for qualifying replacement air-source heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and geothermal systems. Air-source rebate amounts depend on the system’s efficiency.
OMPA WISE Heat Pump Rebate
Up to $800/tonThe WISE program offers rebates through participating municipal electric utilities for eligible air-source, dual-fuel, and geothermal heat pumps. Rebate amounts vary by system type, efficiency, and capacity.
Oklahoma homeowners may be able to access utility rebates through PSO or participating OMPA member cities, depending on their utility, home, and equipment. Palmetto can help homeowners check eligibility, apply for available incentives, and maximize savings.
Incentive information is based on publicly available data as of 2026 and may change. Contact program administrators to verify current availability and eligibility requirements.
Oklahoma Electricity Prices
Electricity prices shape the long-term cost of keeping an Oklahoma home comfortable.
Oklahoma’s average electricity price rose from 11.0¢ per kWh in 2021 to 12.2¢ in 2024, despite a small dip in 2023. That remains below the 2024 U.S. average of 16.5¢.
Heat pumps can help households use electricity more efficiently: they deliver heating and cooling with about two to three times the efficiency of traditional HVAC systems, using less power for the comfort they provide.
Over time, using less electricity for each unit of heating or cooling can help manage energy costs as rates change. A properly sized, well-maintained heat pump can provide lasting comfort, though results depend on the home and usage.
Price of Energy: Oklahoma vs National Average
Oklahoma Utility Providers
Oklahoma’s major electric utilities include Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OG&E) and Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO). The latest figures shown are for 2023; 2024 utility data is not yet available.
OG&E averaged 10.81¢ per kWh, below Oklahoma’s 12.10¢ state average and the 16.0¢ national average. PSO averaged 13.83¢: above the state average, but below the national benchmark.
These figures show different utility rates, but don’t explain what drives them. Even where electricity costs more, a highly efficient heat pump can reduce total energy spending compared with traditional HVAC.

Frequently Asked Questions

At an electricity price of 12.2¢ per kWh, operating costs depend on system efficiency and home conditions.

Heat pump installation costs in Oklahoma vary by home size, system type, efficiency, and whether ductwork needs work, so there is no single statewide price. A contractor can provide an estimate after assessing your home. Oklahoma’s average electricity price is 12.2¢ per kWh; that affects operating costs, not the installation price.
Palmetto offers a Comfort Plan with $0 upfront and predictable monthly payments; maintenance, repairs, and warranty coverage are included for the plan’s life.

At Oklahoma’s electricity price of 12.2¢ per kWh, compare each model’s efficiency, warranty, and estimated operating cost—not brand alone.

Yes—some Oklahoma homeowners may be able to access heat pump rebates through their electric or gas utility, but programs and funding vary by service area and can change. Check with your utility and confirm equipment, installer, and application rules before signing a contract; statewide availability is not guaranteed.
For systems installed in 2026, the federal 25C and 25D tax credits are no longer available. Palmetto’s direct-purchase option leaves you owning the equipment and may allow you to claim a confirmed local rebate; ask the program administrator whether leased systems qualify under the Comfort Plan.

Oklahoma electricity averages 12.2¢ per kWh, but a heat pump’s operating cost depends on your home, equipment efficiency, and usage. A purchased system may qualify for state or utility rebates where available; check current eligibility. No federal tax credit is available for heat pumps installed in 2026, so don’t include one in your cost estimate.
A heat pump can be financially worthwhile in Oklahoma, especially when replacing electric resistance heating or an aging system, but savings depend on your home, equipment, and energy use. At Oklahoma’s electricity price of 12.2¢ per kWh, compare estimated annual heating and cooling costs with your current system before deciding.
Upfront cost and maintenance also matter: Palmetto’s Comfort Plan has no upfront cost, a predictable monthly payment, and maintenance and repairs included; direct purchase means you own the system and may qualify for active state or utility rebates. No federal heat pump tax credit is available for systems installed in 2026.
Most Oklahoma homes need a heat pump sized through a room-by-room heating and cooling load calculation, not a simple square-foot rule. The right capacity depends on local design temperatures, insulation, air leaks, windows, ceiling height, layout, and duct condition. An HVAC professional can use a Manual J calculation to avoid undersizing or oversizing.
Because Oklahoma has hot summers and cold winter periods, the system should be sized for both seasons and checked against your home’s ducts and airflow. A correctly sized unit can support comfort and efficient operation. Palmetto offers a Comfort Plan with $0 upfront and maintenance included, or direct purchase with ownership and possible local rebates where available.
