Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR)

The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program is also known as the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act (HEEHRA) in some states. It’s one of the federal rebate programs included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to encourage energy efficiency. States that applied and received funding will administer this program.

The Department of Energy (DOE) recommends the HEAR program for households that have an income that is average or below average in their area. This rebate program prioritizes helping low- or middle-income households that earn less than 150% of the average median income (AMI).
