A heat pump does not require a QMID. The electric service is only includable if it was necessary for the installation of the heat pump, it also does not need a QMID.

If the Reply "A heat pump does not require a QMID." is correct, then why does TT require it?

So far, the databases for the QMIDs are pretty skimpy. I installed a Siemens panel, and upgraded breakers on an existing GE panel. So, to satisfy the QMID requirement, I used the GE code Z0T6. Hopefully, that's an "umbrella" code for any applicable GE product. I reached out to Siemens via email, but the response was a dive down a black hole. Siemens is a huge company, and getting the right person for the answer is a challenge. Possibly, as we approach the filing deadline, there will be many more manufacturers listed. Gotta love Congress for creating this bureaucratic mess.

I suspect the point of the QMID was to reduce fraudulent claims, and to make sure that legitimate claims actually qualified (for example, I installed a new A/C last summer but it was non-qualifying, for various reasons. Someone with less tax knowledge than me might have tried to claim it. Not to mention salespeople who are misinformed or just lie to their customers.)
