HEEHR — High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate (formerly "HEAR")
Point-of-sale rebates for electrification upgrades. Income-qualified: free for households under 80% AMI, 50% cost-share for 80–150% AMI. Total max $14,000 per household.
HOMES — Home Owner Managing Energy Savings Rebate
Whole-home energy efficiency rebates based on measured or modeled energy savings (minimum 20% savings required). Max $8,000 per household.
25C Federal Tax Credit — Expired for New 2026 Installs
IRS 25C credits applied to qualifying property placed in service through Dec. 31, 2025. For 2026 projects, the live federal pathway is the state-administered Home Energy Rebates program where available, plus local utility rebates.
How Rebates Stack
For 2026 installs, focus on utility rebates + state-administered HEAR/HOMES rebates where open. Example: a qualifying $10,000 heat pump project could receive up to $8,000 through HEAR plus a utility rebate where allowed, but exact stacking rules vary by state, utility, income tier, equipment, and contractor pathway.
Note: Confirm current rules with the state program, utility, and contractor before quoting savings.
