Home Energy Rebates Programs | Department of Energy

About the Home Energy Rebates

On Aug. 16, 2022, President Joseph R. Biden signed the landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) into law. The law includes $391 billion to support clean energy and address climate change, including $8.8 billion in rebates for home energy efficiency and electrification projects.

These home energy rebates will help American households save money on energy bills, upgrade to clean energy equipment and improve energy efficiency, and reduce indoor and outdoor air pollution. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that these rebates will save households up to a $1 billion on energy bills each year and support over 50,000 U.S. jobs. This website includes information about the IRA Home Efficiency Rebates and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates.

DOE envisions that the Home Energy Rebates will help grow the equitable clean energy economy by scaling access to and demand for home energy upgrades for all. The mission of DOE’s Home Energy Rebates team is to work with diverse market actors to leverage the unprecedented IRA investment in residential efficiency and electrification to develop, discover, and scale successful models for home energy upgrades.

Program Updates

The Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) has released applications for states and territories to apply for full program funds for Home Efficiency Rebates and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates. SCEP has also released application materials for Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates. More information is available on the Guidance for Program Administrators page.
