Georgia - Home Efficiency Rebate (HER) Program
Administered by: Georgia Environmental Finance Authority
Quick Summary
Georgia's Home Efficiency Rebate program provides rebates for whole-home energy upgrades based on your household income (as a percentage of area median income) and the energy savings your improvements achieve. Rebates range from $2,000 to $16,000 depending on your income level and savings percentage—households below 80% AMI with 35% or greater savings can receive up to $16,000. To participate, contact a program-approved contractor for a home energy assessment, which may have associated costs that contractors can sometimes include in your final bill.

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. Georgia’s HER program fully launched on March 31, 2025, transitioning out of the pilot phase. Georgia’s HER program helps households finance whole-home energy efficiency retrofits and upgrades. The incentives are based on a household’s area median income and the amount of energy savings as a result of the upgrades. For more information on Georgia’s HER program, click here.
