Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) will be launching soon.
Steps to Participate
Participation in IRA Home Energy Rebates is as easy as 1-2-3!
1
Qualify for both IRA Home Energy Rebate Programs today! Eligibility and rebate amounts are based on household income. All homeowners are eligible to participate in HOMES. Low-income or moderate-income households can participate in HEAR.
2
Start your home energy upgrade process by finding an IRA Registered Contractor. These trusted program partners will help you decide which program and upgrades are right for your home. Note: not all contractors participate in both programs.
3
Determine which program is right for your home and energy saving goals. You may only participate in one program at a time.
HOMES offers rebates for energy-saving home improvements, including insulation and efficient heating/cooling equipment. Participants need a home energy assessment to identify eligible upgrades. Rebate amounts are based on a household’s income level and predicted energy savings from recommended upgrades.
HEAR will provide rebates to households installing heat pumps and other efficient electric equipment to help further electrify their homes. Additional qualified improvements include insulation, air sealing, and upgraded electrical panels and wiring. This program will be available to Wisconsin residents in single-family homes and multifamily buildings, earning 150% of Area Median Income (AMI) or less.
IRA Home Energy Rebates are not the only ways to save on your home energy projects. You may be eligible for other programs, including Focus on Energy rebates and discounts, the Weatherization Assistance Program, and tax credits. Plus, you can combine many of these with IRA Home Energy Rebates for even more savings! The Get Started tool will help you identify what you are eligible for.
If you qualify at 80% AMI for IRA programs, you are already qualified for income-based Focus on Energy programs. No need to go through the process again!
