IRA Home Energy Rebates are rolling out!

Take advantage of rebates to support your home energy project such as adding insulation and efficient heating and cooling equipment. Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) are NOW AVAILABLE. Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) will be launched soon.

Welcome to your one stop for Wisconsin IRA Home Energy Rebates information.

As part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Wisconsin has been allocated $149 million for Home Energy Rebates. Focus on Energy was chosen by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin to deliver the IRA Home Energy Rebate Programs. Rebates will be provided through two programs: 1) HOMES, and 2) HEAR.

Insulation and Air Sealing Rebates for Homeowners

In partnership with Focus on Energy, Wisconsin Energies is offering up to $1800 in cash rebates to homeowners for adding spray foam insulation or foam insulation to their homes. Your Healthy Homes expert will provide you with the documentation that you need to claim your energy rebate.

IRA Home Energy Rebates are not the only ways to save on your home energy projects. You may be eligible for other programs, including Focus on Energy rebates and discounts, the Weatherization Assistance Program, and tax credits. Plus, in some cases you can combine for even more savings! The Get Started tool will help you identify what you are eligible for.

Home Energy Rebate Programs

Home Efficiency Rebate Program (HOMES)

HOMES offers rebates for energy-saving home improvements, including insulation and efficient heating/cooling equipment. Participants need a home energy assessment. Rebate amounts are based on a household’s income level and predicted energy savings from recommended upgrades.

Ready to Make Your Home Energy Efficient?

Get an Assessment

Getting a home energy assessment is an early step in the process of energy and financial savings. Understanding how your home uses energy will help you and your IRA Registered Contractor create a custom action plan. By updating equipment, insulating and air sealing your home, and exploring other ways your home can save energy, you will unlock qualifying rebates, instant discounts, or other incentives to save you money, energy, and be more comfortable.

The HEAR Program will provide rebates to households installing heat pumps and other efficient electric equipment to help further electrify their homes. Additional qualified improvements include insulation, air sealing, and upgraded electrical panels. This program will be available to Wisconsin residents in single-family homes and multifamily buildings, earning 150% of Area Median Income or less.

Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate Program (HEAR) – Coming Soon

Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) will be launched soon. In the meantime, “here” are a few facts you might want to know. HEAR rebates help low- and moderate-income households save energy and money toward energy upgrades made to their primary residence. A home assessment is not needed, in most cases, and qualifying equipment will be purchased through your local participating contractor or retailer. Expected program launch is later in 2024.

Participation

Wisconsin residents living in qualified existing- and multi-family homes are welcome to participate if you live in a low- or moderate-income household. New construction residences of qualifying income can also apply. A low- or moderate-income household is where the total annual income is less than 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI).

Savings and More

The Electrification and Appliance Rebate Program offers rebates for installing qualifying equipment. A single household cannot receive more than $14,000 total in rebate dollars from this program. High income households (>150% AMI) are not eligible for this program.

*A household’s combined rebate for a qualifying electric stove, range, or oven AND a heat pump clothes dryer cannot exceed $840 in total. Note: A single household address may not receive a rebate from both the Home Efficiency Rebate and the Home Electrification and Appliance Program for the same upgrade or equipment type. However, projects receiving rebates from either of these programs may also be eligible to receive Focus on Energy rebates.
