High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program (HEEHRP)

The High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program (HEEHRP) provides point-of-sale consumer rebates to enable low- and moderate-income households across America to electrify their homes. HEEHRP will help American families save money on their monthly energy bills, create healthier indoor air environments, and reduce their carbon emissions.

The U.S. government appropriated $4.5B of funds for the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program (HEEHRP) and will distribute the funds to state energy offices to administer the rebate program.

1) HEEHRP provides HVAC rebates up to $14,000 per household, including:

• Up to $8,000 for installing Energy Star® qualified heat pumps
• Up to $4,000 for electrical panel upgrades
• Up to $1,600 for home insulation and sealing
• Up to $2,500 for home electrical wiring improvements

2) Eligibility and the amount of the rebate depends on household income:

• For low income households below 80% of area median income, 100% of the system purchase price qualifies for the rebate.
• For moderate income households that fall within 80% to 150% of area median income, 50% of the system purchase price qualifies for the rebate. (Ex; If you’re a moderate income household you may qualify for $8,000 toward your heat pump system but you’d have to spend $16,000)
• Households above 150% of area median income do not qualify for the HEEHRP rebate.

The duration of the program will depend on the funds available within each state and the number of rebates distributed.

More to come, the process is TBD and we’re expecting this to be available late 2023 to early 2024.
