Best First Step

What should South Dakota homeowners upgrade first?

1
Schedule a home energy assessment
Black Hills Energy Residential Prescriptive Rebates (2026) typically offers free or reduced-cost home energy assessments. This is usually required for insulation and whole-home heat pump rebates.
2
Complete insulation and air sealing first
A well-insulated home needs a smaller heat pump system, qualifies for better rebates, and has lower operating costs. These upgrades are often incentivized at 75–100% of cost.
3
Install a heat pump
Once weatherized, your home is ready for a heat pump. Homes heating with oil or propane typically qualify for the highest rebate tiers through Black Hills Energy Residential Prescriptive Rebates (2026).
4
Verify federal credits separately
The federal 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit expired December 31, 2025. If you installed equipment in 2025, verify eligibility for that tax year with a tax professional.
