Heat Pump Cost in North Carolina 2026
A typical whole-home ducted heat pump costs $8,000–$14,000 installed in North Carolina in 2026 (statewide average ~$11,000). The federal credit is $0, but Duke Energy pays $500–$1,000 and income-qualified households can get up to $8,000 through Energy Saver NC — if they heat with electricity, not gas.
