FrugalWatt / Rebate status board

All 50 states and DC · dated official sources

Can you get a home energy rebate where you live?

This is a federal HEAR and HOMES program board, not a complete directory of every state or utility incentive. We currently have a dated official-source check for 16 of 51 jurisdictions. For every other state, the honest answer is not checked — not “not yet.”

Among the program records we have verified, taking applications today: Arizona, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island.

Your state says "not checked"? That means nobody here has read its page yet, so we are not going to guess. Your state energy office is the place to ask — the US Department of Energy keeps a directory of them.

What the answers mean

• Open nowYou can apply today
• Not yetLaunch is pending; applications are not available on the checked source
• Wait listYou can apply, but you will be put in a queue
• On holdWas open, has stopped taking new applications
• Money goneThe funds are committed or spent
• Not checkedWe have not looked at this one yet

Things worth knowing before you spend money

"Up to" really means up to. The figures above are ceilings for the best-qualifying household doing the biggest job. What you actually get depends on your income, what you are installing, and how much your state has left.

Most of these are income-tested. Programs generally cut off around 150% of the area median income — roughly, the midpoint income for where you live, adjusted for household size. Lower-income households usually get a larger share of the cost covered.

Do not do the work first. Several states will not pay for a job that was finished before you were approved, and one of them says so in writing. Get the approval, then book the contractor.

Check the official page before you commit. Every state name above links to the agency running the money. That page, not this one, is the authority, and it can change the day after we look.

How current this is

• 5 Open now
• 9 Not yet
• 2 On hold
• 35 Not checked

Several checked states still report pending DOE approval. Oregon describes its understanding of a pause in federal launch approvals. Each state’s linked source and review notes explain its own position.

Manual dates record the original human checks. Reviews labeled AI-assisted record a separate reading of the linked sources by Codex. A review date never implies agency approval or personal eligibility. Inconclusive reviews retain a needs-rechecking flag. Rebuilding the site moves none of these dates.

16 of 51 carry a real date today. The rest are honestly blank. How we verify sets out which sources count and which do not.
