Upgrade from Electric Baseboard to High-Efficiency Heat Pumps: Act Now to Maximize NH Saves Rebates

If you live in southern New Hampshire and rely on electric resistance baseboard heating, you’re likely familiar with high winter energy bills and uneven comfort throughout your home. Fortunately, there’s never been a better time to upgrade to an energy-efficient heat pump system. Thanks to the enhanced rebates currently offered through the NH Saves program, you may be eligible for thousands of dollars in incentives to replace your outdated electric heating system with a modern, cost-effective solution.

As a trusted, 5-star rated HVAC contractor in the region, Denommee Plumbing, HVAC & Electric is your go-to resource in the Merrimack, Manchester, Nashua, and surrounding southern NH areas for expert heat pump design, installation, and service. Read on to learn why homeowners are making the switch — and why acting now, while funding lasts, is so important.

Why Replace Electric Baseboard Heating?

Electric resistance baseboard heaters are simple and relatively inexpensive to install, which is why they’ve historically been used in many homes throughout New Hampshire. However, that low initial cost comes at a price:

• High Operating Costs: Electric baseboards consume a lot of electricity, especially during cold New England winters, leading to high monthly bills.

• No Cooling: Baseboards only heat — they don’t provide any summer cooling or humidity control.

• Inconsistent Comfort: These systems often create hot and cold zones in the home, with limited control over individual room temperatures.

• Noisy Operation: Baseboards can make popping or ticking sounds when heating up or cooling down.

In contrast, modern cold-climate heat pumps provide both efficient heating and cooling, improve year-round comfort, and significantly reduce your energy bills — all while taking advantage of attractive rebates and financing options.

What Is a Heat Pump and How Does It Work?

Heat pumps work by moving heat, rather than generating it through combustion or electric resistance. In the winter, they extract heat from the outside air — even when it’s cold — and bring it inside. In the summer, they reverse the process to cool your home.

Thanks to cold-climate technologies, today’s heat pumps work reliably even in New Hampshire’s frigid winters, making them a smart alternative to baseboard systems. Plus, ductless mini-splits or ducted central systems can be tailored to your home’s layout and preferences.

Time-Sensitive Rebates: Save Big with NH Saves

The NH Saves program, supported by New Hampshire's utility providers, is offering enhanced rebates specifically for homeowners replacing electric resistance heating with high-efficiency air-source heat pumps. But these incentives are time-sensitive and available only while funding lasts.

Current Enhanced Rebates Include:

• Up to $6,000 per home for replacing electric resistance baseboard heating with qualifying heat pump systems.

• Up to $2,000 in federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act for eligible systems.

• 0% financing options for qualified homeowners through participating lenders.

These rebates are designed to make the switch to heat pumps more affordable and accelerate New Hampshire’s transition to energy-efficient home heating.

Important Note: NH Saves incentives are subject to funding availability and can change or expire without notice. Don’t wait — planning your upgrade now ensures you lock in the highest rebate amounts.
