Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate

A point-of-sale rebate for home electrification projects in low- and moderate-income and historically underserved households.

What qualifies

This is a point-of-sale rebate for qualified electrification projects in low- and moderate-income and historically underserved households.

Qualified projects include:

  • Weatherization, including insulation, air sealing, or ventilation.
  • Energy Star certified electric heat pumps for space heating and cooling.
  • Energy Star certified heat pump water heaters.
  • Energy Star heat pump clothing dryers.
  • Energy Star electric kitchen equipment including electric and induction stove cooktop, ranges, or ovens.
  • Electrical panels and breaker boxes.
  • Electrical wiring

Incentive value

100% of electrification project costs, up to $14,000, for low-income households, and 50% of costs, up to $14,000, for moderate-income households. There is a $500 incentive for project contractors per electrification project. Limits for specific upgrade components are as follows:

  • Up to $1,600 for weatherization including insulation, air sealing, or ventilation.
  • Up to $8,000 for Energy Star certified electric heat pumps for space heating and cooling.
  • Up to $1,750 for Energy Star certified heat pump water heaters.
  • Up to $840 for Energy Star heat pump clothing dryers.
  • Up to $840 for Energy Star electric kitchen equipment.
  • Up to $4,000 for electric breaker boxes.
  • Up to $2,500 for electric wiring.

This can be used with other federal incentives depending on the project to lower costs even more. See if your project also qualifies for the Residential Clean Energy Credit 25D, Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit 25C, and Home Efficiency Rebate. This rebate can be stacked with the Home Efficiency Rebate if it uses the modeled approach, not the measured approach, for the same household retrofit project but can never be stacked for the same efficiency or electrification measure.
