## What to know about the Utah numbers

- **Rebates not checked yet**: We haven't checked heat pump rebates in Utah 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.
- **Mostly average prices**: Only 0% of Utah ZIP codes here are priced on a current utility tariff. The rest use the utility's average price from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which is about two years old and doesn't show tiers, so the winter price of extra kWh is estimated. Enter the rate from a recent bill for a closer answer.
- **Regional fuel prices**: EIA doesn't publish a Utah price for every fuel: heating oil uses the national average. Enter your own price if you heat with it.
