How much you get

Duquesne Light's Act 129 program groups "ventilation and air conditioning" together as a broad measure category, but the company doesn't publish a standalone dollar rebate for HRV or ERV equipment. Its residential rebate portal was also mid-refresh as of this writing — the site lists appliance recycling, a whole-house energy audit, an online marketplace, and income-qualified weatherization while the full catalog is rebuilt, with no ventilation line item among them.

Pittsburgh's older housing stock — a lot of pre-WWII homes in a humid river-valley climate, many with damp basements — is exactly the kind of building where a heat recovery ventilator pays off after an insulation or air-sealing retrofit. The rebate gap doesn't change the physics.

The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) expired December 31, 2025 and never covered HRV or ERV equipment while it ran, so there's no federal rebate to fall back on either. Treat an HRV or ERV in Pittsburgh as a straight equipment-and-install cost for now.

Common questions

Does Duquesne Light offer an HRV or ERV rebate in Pittsburgh?

No. Duquesne Light's residential rebate catalog covers other equipment, but heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) aren't a funded category as of this writing.

What should a Pittsburgh homeowner do instead of waiting for an HRV rebate?

Treat it as a straight equipment-and-install cost, get quotes from a couple of local installers, and fold it into a broader retrofit plan rather than delaying for a rebate that doesn't currently exist. See our general guide to HRV and ERV systems for how the equipment works and what it costs.
