Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates

Coming Soon

Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) will be launched soon. In the meantime, “here” are a few facts you might want to know.

HEAR rebates help low- and moderate-income households save energy and money toward energy upgrades made to their primary residence. A home assessment is not needed, in most cases, and qualifying equipment will be purchased through your local participating contractor or retailer.

Expected program launch is later in 2024.

Participation

Wisconsin residents living in qualified existing- and multi-family homes are welcome to participate if you live in a low- or moderate-income household. New construction residences of qualifying income can also apply.

A low- or moderate-income household is where the total annual income is less than 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI).

Savings and More

The Electrification and Appliance Rebate Program offers rebates for installing qualifying equipment. A single household cannot receive more than $14,000 total in rebate dollars from this program. High income households (>150% AMI) are not eligible for this program.

However, projects receiving rebates from either of these programs may also be eligible to receive Focus on Energy rebates.

Retroactive Rebates
Per federal guidance, retroactive rebates are not available for the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) Program. You may be eligible to receive a tax credit for the upgrade.
