Once determined your building is a good fit for IRA Home Energy Rebates, follow these general steps.

1. Income Qualification
• By Unit – Rebate eligibility and amounts are based on tenant household income. If at least 50% of tenants are considered low- or moderate-income, the entire building may qualify for that rebate level.
• Building Level – Some property types or classifications, may qualify the whole building without individual income qualification. See the Streamlined Eligibility section of the IRA Income Qualification Checklist for more information.
2. Energy Assessment –Whole-building HOMES rebates require an energy assessment using approved modeling software.
3. Submission for Reservation – Your IRA Registered Contractor submits the required documentation for project approval and rebate reservation. Reservations are valid for one year.
4. Complete Installation – Install the approved equipment and complete the project.
5. Request Payment – Once approved, your rebate will be processed in approximately 28 days.

The program aims to approve projects within 28 days. Project complexity and other extenuating circumstances may increase this approval time.
