Why rebate programs ask for Manual J
Heat pump rebates pay for equipment that is sized to the house. To check that, several programs ask the installing contractor for an ACCA Manual J load calculation and a Manual S equipment selection based on the manufacturer's extended performance data at the local design temperature.
NYS Clean Heat (New York)
The NYS Clean Heat load calculation guidance requires calculations in accordance with ACCA Manual J for residential projects and equipment sizing per ACCA Manual S using extended performance tables. Full-load systems must cover at least 100% of the design heating load, with the outdoor design temperature close to the program default.
PSEG Long Island Home Comfort
PSEG Long Island states that Manual J is required for participation in its Home Comfort program. Whole-house air-source heat pump systems must meet 90 to 120% of the heating load.
Mass Save (Massachusetts)
For the partial-home sizing bonus, Mass Save asks for Manual J load calculation documentation showing the equipment meets 90 to 120% of the total heating load at the outdoor design temperature.
Other programs
Rhode Island Energy forms have asked for a Manual J on central systems, Xcel Energy Colorado ducted heat pump rebates reference Manual J and S, and Efficiency Maine accepts approved load calculation software among other methods. Rules change every program year: always check the current program manual.

Manual J for Heat Pump Rebates: answered.
Do you submit the rebate for us?
No. The installing contractor submits the rebate application. We deliver the load calculation and equipment check the program asks for.
Can you size to 90 to 120% of the heating load?
Yes. Manual S shows the heat pump capacity at the design temperature against the Manual J heating load, so you can see the percentage the program checks.
How much does a Manual J cost?
$100 per house for Manual J, Manual S and Manual D together. No subscription and no minimum order.
How fast do I get the report?
Usually 2–3 business days after we receive complete plans and specs.
Will the building department accept it?
Reports follow ACCA Manual J 8th Edition, Manual S and Manual D and use the plans you send. Acceptance is up to your building department; if plan review asks for corrections to our report, we revise it at no charge.
