HEAR Rebates
Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR)
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.
Step 1 - 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 of 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.
