Home Energy Rebate Programs
Rebates will help reduce the cost of energy-saving retrofits.
The Inflation Reduction Act included two rebate programs for home energy efficiency and home electrification projects.
- The Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) will range from $2,000 to $4,000 for individual households and up to $400,000 for multifamily buildings for energy efficiency retrofits. The rebate will depend on the amount of energy saved.
- The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) will provide point-of-sale rebates to low- to medium-income households for heat pumps; heat pump water heaters; heat pump clothes dryers; electric stoves, cooktops, ranges, or ovens; electric load service center (breaker box/electrical panel); electric wiring; and insulation, air sealing, and ventilation.
To support the rebate programs, the Home Energy Efficiency Contractor Training Grant will help train, test, and certify residential energy efficiency and electrification contractors.

Program Status as of November 13, 2024
GEFA plans to launch Georgia’s Home Energy Rebates statewide by March 31, 2025. To help prepare for the statewide launch, a limited pilot of the rebate programs launched today.
The limited pilot will allow GEFA to test operational processes and to further develop the participating contractor network. Projects for the pilot testing will be initiated from a contractor-led project pipeline. Program design and planning will continue throughout the remainder of the year. These efforts will include engagement with strategic partners, energy providers, and retailers.
More information will be available at energyrebates.georgia.gov as GEFA works toward the full launch of the programs by March 31, 2025.
