What to know about the Connecticut numbers

  • Rebates not checked yet. We haven't checked heat pump rebates in Connecticut yet, so the numbers here leave them out. Utility and state programs can take thousands off a heat pump, so ask your utility and your contractor what's available.
  • Supplier choice. Many Connecticut households buy their electricity supply from a competitive supplier. We use the utility's standard price; if you buy from a supplier, enter your total price per kWh from your bill.
  • Older gas price. EIA's Connecticut residential gas price stops at May 2026. Enter your own price from a winter bill for a closer answer.
