Save Energy and Money with Georgia’s Home Energy Rebates in the Cartersville, GA Area

Georgia’s Home Energy Rebates program is a statewide initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Energy with $220 million allocated to help homeowners reduce energy costs, increase home comfort, and promote energy-efficient living. Through this program, eligible Georgia households can receive up to $16,000 in rebates for home energy upgrades and electrification efforts. The initiative supports both whole-home retrofits and specific appliance and installation upgrades and is especially beneficial to households with moderate to low incomes. The program is administered by the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA).

Home Efficiency Rebate (HER)

The Home Efficiency Rebate focuses on improving overall home energy efficiency through comprehensive upgrades. Rebates are determined by two key factors: your household income and the anticipated energy savings from the improvements. Qualifying upgrades include insulation, air sealing, and HVAC system improvements. Households earning less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) are eligible for up to 98% of project costs, capped at $16,000, depending on energy savings achieved.

Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR)

The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate provides point-of-sale rebates for ENERGY STAR® certified appliances and related electrical upgrades. This includes heat pump water heaters, electric stoves, load service centers, and more. Households earning less than 150% of the Area Median Income can qualify, with a total rebate cap of $14,000. These rebates make it more affordable for families to transition to modern, energy-efficient electric appliances.
