Program Summary
Note: The Federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created the Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) Program.
The IRA established the main parameters for this program, but allowed the states to customize the program to meet their state-specific needs.
The program is designed to provide rebates for whole-home energy improvements. Actual rebate amounts are determined by the level of modeled or measured energy savings and the income level of the applicant. See summary below and program website for complete details. Rebate values vary based on income level and modeled energy savings. Multifamily buildings can qualify a whole building for low or moderate income if at least 50% of occupied units meet those thresholds. Federal guidance requires states to offer retroactive rebates for Home Efficiency Rebate (HOMES) projects initiated on or after August 16, 2022, that meet certain requirements. To be eligible for retroactive HOMES program rebates, projects will need to meet ALL final federal and state program requirements, unless otherwise stated below.
