Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates

Ready to Make Your Home’s Equipment
More Energy Efficient?

Let Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) start saving you energy and money.

HEAR gives rebates to help low- and moderate-income families make their homes more energy efficient. Equipment MUST be purchased and installed by an IRA Registered Contractor. In 2025, you will be able to purchase equipment through participating stores.

This simplified process shows what you can expect.

Complete Income Qualification

All participating households must verify their total household annual income is less than 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI). A household includes all individuals living in the home, regardless of relation. You may be asked to provide documentation income.

By reviewing the IRA Income Qualification Checklist, you can have your documents ready when applying. We encourage online applications for quicker processing and results but have a print-ready option too. 

This short video, IRA Home Energy Rebates Income Qualification Process, explains income qualification step-by-step.

Note: When choosing an IRA Registered Contractor, be sure to select a contractor that participates as an IRA HEAR Installer and offers the equipment you are interested in.

Other Ways to Save
