Up to $14,000 per household.
Only in the states that launched.
HEEHRA is federally funded, state-administered, and still rolling out. Four states are live. Five launch in 2026. The rest are stuck in DOE approval queues.
What is HEEHRA and how much can I get?
HEEHRA pays income-qualified homeowners up to $14,000 total toward electrification — heat pumps, water heaters, induction stoves, panel upgrades, and insulation. It's federally funded and state-administered. Your exact amount depends on household income, state launch status, and which appliances you upgrade. Check your state in the ElectrifyAtlas rebate finder.
How HEEHRA dollars break down
The full $14,000 is only available to households under 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). The program is tiered — higher-income households get less, and above 150% AMI you get $0 from HEEHRA (though you can still use state utility programs).
- Heat pump space heating/cooling: up to $8,000
- Heat pump water heater: up to $1,750
- Induction stove / electric range: up to $840
- Electrical panel upgrade: up to $4,000
- Electric wiring: up to $2,500
- Insulation, air sealing, ventilation: up to $1,600
For households between 80% and 150% AMI, HEEHRA covers 50% of project cost up to the caps above. Above 150% AMI, HEEHRA pays nothing — which is why state and utility programs matter so much for middle-income households.
Why the launch has been so slow
HEEHRA was authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. The $4.5 billion allocation was released to states over 2023-2024. But each state has to design its own program — application portals, income verification, installer networks, contractor training — and submit the design to the DOE for approval. That approval process has taken anywhere from 6 months to over 2 years.
The states that moved first (WA, MA, NY, CA) built on top of existing state energy offices and utility rebate infrastructure. States without that foundation have been slower or haven't announced launch dates.
