Independence Power and Light - New Homes Rebate Program

Independence Power and Light's New Homes Rebate Program provides builders constructing ENERGY STAR-certified homes with rebates of $300–$800 per home plus up to $500 reimbursement for ENERGY STAR HERS rating costs. If you're building a new home, work with your builder to ensure the house meets ENERGY STAR standards and includes qualifying equipment (heat pumps, air conditioners, or electric water heaters) to receive these incentives.

Builders qualify for rebates by constructing homes that achieve ENERGY STAR certification using an independent HERS rating from the Residential Energy Services Network; rebate amounts range from $300–$800 per home, with an additional $500 reimbursement available for actual HERS inspection and rating costs. Submit a completed application form with all requested equipment information to Independence Power & Light to claim rebates, and contact the utility at (816) 325-7485 to confirm equipment meets program standards.

The New Homes Program with ENERGY STAR targets builders of new single- and multi-family residential construction by offering prescriptive rebates ($300–$800 per home) for ENERGY STAR compliance plus HERS rating cost reimbursement (up to $500 per home). The program uses independent HERS scoring to verify energy efficiency and operates alongside the utility's standard residential rebate program for air conditioners, heat pumps, and electric water heaters; applicants must submit forms and equipment documentation to the utility's rebate program office for processing.
