HOMES Program – Available Now

The HOMES program provides rebates for energy-efficient home improvements, such as adding insulation, upgrading heating and cooling equipment, and air sealing. To participate, a home energy assessment is required, and work must be performed by an IRA registered contractor. The rebate amounts vary based on your household’s income and the anticipated energy savings from the recommended upgrades.

Retroactive HOMES rebates are available for projects initiated on or after August 16, 2022, that meet certain requirements.

HEAR Program – Later in 2024

The upcoming HEAR program will offer rebates for households that install heat pumps and other efficient electric appliances, supporting the move towards a fully electrified home. This program will also cover improvements like insulation, air sealing, and electrical panel and wiring upgrades. It will be available to Wisconsin residents in single-family homes and multifamily buildings with incomes at or below 150% of the Area Median Income.
