Home Energy Rebates by State and National Status
Through September 30, 2031, federal law gives $8.8 billion to State Energy Offices so they can set up programs shaped to their state. According to the Department of Energy, select states now offer these IRA home energy rebates. Programs are open right now in Arizona, Indiana, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia. For qualifying residents, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and West Virginia run programs that are partly open. Applications are paused in California, Colorado, Georgia, Montana, and Vermont, either because funds were reserved or because rules changed. After state leaders turned down the federal money, South Dakota and Idaho are not participating. All the remaining states are still planning a launch or waiting on final federal approval before they take applications.
HEAR Rebate Heat Pump and Appliance Limits
Families earning less than 150% of the area median income, the middle income in your area, can get help under the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate. If your household earns under 80% of that local middle income, up to 100% of your project cost can be covered. Earning between 80% and 150% means up to 50% of your project cost can be paid. The combined total per household for your ENERGY STAR appliance rebate cannot go over $14,000, and each item has its own cap:
- Equipment for space heating and cooling earns an Inflation Reduction Act heat pump rebate of up to $8,000.
- Work on the main breaker panel, known as the electric load service center upgrade, earns as much as $4,000.
- Coverage runs up to $2,500 for new electric wiring in your house.
- A rebate of up to $1,750 is available for an electric heat pump water heater.
- Insulation, air sealing, and ventilation upgrades in your home pay up to $1,600.
New Rules for the DOE Home Energy Rebate Program
Program Notice 26-2, issued by the federal government on May 29, 2026, changed who qualifies for appliance rebates. The program name went back to High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebates under the same agency action. This rebate no longer covers a switch from gas, propane, or oil furnaces to electric heat pumps. Payments now cover only swaps of older electric systems for more efficient electric models, plus new home construction. Before heating and cooling upgrades are installed, homeowners must also put rebates toward insulation and air sealing. Active programs got three months to update their rules, and North Carolina set a September 1, 2026 deadline. Your state may honor a rebate reservation you already hold under the old rules, if it was approved.
Whole-Home Savings in the Home Energy Rebate Program
Any income level can join the Home Efficiency Rebates program, which pays for projects that lower a home's overall energy use. Modeled energy savings, meaning a computer estimate of the drop in your energy use before work begins, is what most states rely on. ENERGY STAR equipment can be made optional by states for these whole-home projects under Program Notice 26-1.
- Standard households that save 20% to under 35% get the lower of $2,000 and 50% of project costs.
- Standard households that reduce energy use by at least 35% receive 50% of costs or $4,000, whichever is less.
- Households that earn below 80% of the local middle income can have up to 80% of costs covered, with a cap of $4,000 or $8,000.
- Higher low-income caps exist under state-specific rules, up to $18,000 in Indiana and $20,000 in West Virginia.
How to Apply Through Your State Energy Office
These programs are managed by every state, territory, or Tribe, which also picks the products and contractors that qualify for funding. Appliance rebates apply at the point of sale, so the discount is taken right off your bill when you buy. To avoid missing out on your payment, follow these four steps:
- Confirm with your State Energy Office that applications are open before any equipment purchase.
- Your local income tier gets verified with your household tax returns or income documents, so have them ready.
- Choose a contractor approved by the state, who can then reserve your funds and put the upfront discount on your invoice.
- If you claim the electric heat pump appliance rebate, finish any required insulation and air sealing work first.
Common Questions About Home Energy Rebates
What home energy rebate opportunities does Ohio offer for 2026?
Its program application went in on November 12, 2024, and Ohio is now waiting for final federal approval before opening. When the Ohio program opens, energy efficiency retrofits can bring individual households $2,000 to $4,000. Whole-home retrofit funding of up to $400,000 is available to qualifying multifamily buildings in Ohio.
Does Colorado offer heat pump rebates in 2026?
On November 13, 2025, Colorado launched its single-family appliance rebate program, but two regions closed on August 1, 2026. In winter 2026, the Colorado Energy Office expects to launch the state's rebate programs for whole-home efficiency. Large multifamily buildings, manufactured homes, and mobile homes will all be included in that winter launch.
In Wisconsin, which home energy rebates can you get?
All $149 million in federal rebate funding has gone to Wisconsin, and both of its state programs are open right now. The whole-home program from Wisconsin Focus on Energy gives extra help to lower-income households earning below 80% of local middle income. Families that qualify can have 100% of their project cost covered, with a state cap of $10,000.
Under the measured savings path, who qualifies for home energy rebates?
The measured energy savings path is open to any household, or any portfolio of homes, that reduces actual energy use by 15% or more. Rather than rely on an upfront computer estimate, this option pays at a rate of $2,000 when energy use falls by 20%. A total of $225,000,000 in dedicated federal funding also went to Indian Tribes, letting them run appliance rebate programs that qualifying tribal households can use.
Is there a rebate if you swap a gas furnace for a heat pump?
No. Rebates for switching from non-electric furnaces to electric heat pumps ended under federal rules issued May 29, 2026. The appliance program pays only in two cases under Program Notice 26-2: replacing an existing electric system, or building a new home. A rule that kept 40% of program money for low-income households only was also removed by the federal government.
Get installer quotes that include your rebates
Most rebates on this page are paid through the installer or need the installer's paperwork, so the quote is where the money is settled. Tell us the ZIP code and what you want installed, and installers who work with these programs send a written price with the rebates taken off.
