Energy Efficiency Rebates & Savings

Save More When You Make Your Home More Efficient

Improving your home’s energy efficiency doesn’t just lower your monthly utility bills, it may also qualify you for valuable rebates and incentives that reduce the upfront cost of your project. At Total Home Efficiency, we stay informed on the latest federal, state, utility, and local energy efficiency programs so you don’t have to. Our team can help identify opportunities that may apply to your project and guide you through the process of maximizing available savings.

What Incentives Are Available in 2026 and 2027?

While the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit (Section 25C) ended for projects installed after December 31, 2025, many homeowners can still take advantage of state-administered rebate programs funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, along with utility company incentives and local energy efficiency programs. Program availability varies by state and utility provider.
Potential savings may include rebates for:

Whole-Home Energy Savings Rebates

The Home Owner Managing Energy Savings (HOMES) Program rewards homeowners who complete projects that significantly improve the overall energy performance of their homes.

Rather than focusing on a single upgrade, the HOMES Program encourages a whole-home approach by combining improvements such as insulation, air sealing, and other energy-saving measures that reduce overall energy consumption. Depending on your household income, projected energy savings, and your state’s implementation, qualifying homeowners may be eligible for rebates of up to $8,000 for whole-home efficiency projects.

Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates

Income-qualified households may also be eligible for the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) Program.

Depending on household income and state availability, HEAR may provide rebates toward qualifying home efficiency improvements, including insulation and air sealing as part of eligible projects.

Some households may qualify for up to $14,000 in combined lifetime rebates across eligible electrification upgrades, although insulation and air sealing have separate program limits.

Utility Company Rebates

Many electric and gas utility providers offer additional incentives for homeowners who improve their home’s energy efficiency. Depending on your location, these programs may provide rebates for:

  • Attic insulation
  • Air sealing
  • Smart thermostats
  • LED lighting
  • Home energy assessments
  • HVAC efficiency improvements

These utility rebates can often be combined with other qualifying incentive programs, helping homeowners reduce project costs even further. Availability varies by utility provider.
