Install a Heat Pump Water Heater Before the End of 2025

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your home’s water heater in Missoula, MT, now is the time to act. Through the end of 2025, NorthWestern Energy is offering rebates through its Efficiency Plus (E+) Program for qualified ENERGY STAR® heat pump water heaters—but these rebates will end on December 31, 2025.

Homeowners across Western Montana can take advantage of rebates of up to $3,000 to offset the cost of purchasing and installing a high-efficiency heat pump water heater. This is a rare opportunity to reduce energy use, improve comfort, and save on utility bills while qualifying for significant incentives.

How Heat Pump Water Heaters Work

A heat pump water heater (HPWH) is not your standard water heater; it’s a smarter, more efficient upgrade. Instead of generating heat directly through gas combustion or electric resistance, HPWHs extract heat from the surrounding air and transfer it into the water tank.

In simple terms, they work like a refrigerator in reverse—moving heat rather than creating it. This advanced design allows homeowners to get the same amount of hot water while using less energy than traditional models.

If you already enjoy the comfort and efficiency of a home heat pump HVAC system, pairing it with a heat pump water heater can further maximize your energy savings and sustainability.

Why Install a Heat Pump Water Heater?

Heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) use advanced technology to move heat rather than generate it, making them far more efficient than traditional electric or gas models. Instead of burning fuel, they pull heat from the surrounding air and transfer it into the water tank—delivering the same amount of hot water using up to 70% less energy.

Benefits of upgrading to a heat pump water heater include:

Lower Monthly Energy Bills. Use less electricity and reduce long-term operating costs.
Environmentally Friendly Performance. Reduce your household carbon footprint with efficient operation.
Quiet, Reliable Operation. Newer ENERGY STAR® systems operate quietly and maintain consistent water temperatures.
Long-Term Savings. Although the upfront cost is higher, rebates and reduced energy use make these systems cost-effective within just a few years.

Many Montana homeowners choose HPWHs as part of their broader energy-efficiency improvements, especially when paired with heat pump HVAC systems for whole-home comfort. Talk to our team about your options today!
