When will I be able to access home energy rebates?

Eligible applicants will be able to access the home energy rebate program by Fall 2025. The Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) program rebates will be available at a future date.

What factors determine how much money a household can get for home energy rebates?

The rebate available varies depending on factors inluding but not limited to:

• Per-household limits established by the law and program administrators
• What technology or technologies are being installed in the home
• Whether or not the project has measured or estimated energy savings, and how those energy savings are calculated
• The household's Area Median Income
• The total project cost

Area Median Income (AMI) is determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each year. You can use the HUD portal to view AMI by county and number of family members.

What is my Area Median Income (AMI)?

Area Median Income varies across the state and is calculated by household size. HUD reports Area Median Income data for the U.S. each year.​ To find the area median income for your area and household size, you can view an AMI table for Florida counties (Updated June 23, 2025). For the most recent data, you can use this tool from HUD or refer to the AMI tables provided by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

My household is 80%-150% AMI. What does it mean that my HEAR rebate amount is not to exceed 50% of the qualified project cost?

As an example, if your HEAR project included an $8,000 upgrade to your Heat Pump for Space Heating or Cooling and a $4,000 upgrade to your Electric Load Service Center, totaling $12,000, you would be eligible for a HEAR rebate of 50% of the $12,000 total project cost, which is $6,000. As an 80%-150% AMI applicant, you would be required to submit any project costs exceeding the HEAR rebate (known as "Cost-share") before a HEAR project could begin.

Are there any benefits that I can access now?

Tax credits are available directly through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for certain qualifying home energy efficiency improvements, including insulation, heating equipment and others. Visit the IRS Inflation Act of 2022 site and consult your tax professional for more information.

Will I qualify for these rebate programs?

Please note, not everyone will be eligible to participate since eligibility is based on a variety of factors including household income.

At least 30 consecutive days of documentation must be provided. Documentation is required for all adult (18+) household members receiving income.
