The state Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) Program provides grants to third-party administrators to offer rebates and incentives that help households and small businesses buy and install high-efficiency electric equipment and appliances.
How to get a rebate
We’ll post each local administrator’s contact information as soon as their contracts are finalized. Please check back every few days to see if your local administrator has been added to the list.
Be sure to check the Area Median Income (AMI) thresholds, which determine eligibility for a rebate.
If you don’t see an administrator in your area, it either means their contract hasn’t been finalized yet or that no organization applied for or was awarded to serve your area.
Commerce recently awarded $39,323,876 million through the State Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) Program to 40 local third-party administrators who will offer rebates to low- and moderate-income households, small businesses, and adult family homes to install high-efficiency electric equipment. This includes funding from the 2025 biennial budget and 2026 supplemental budget. Awardees:
