How Multifamily Owners Can Use IRA Rebates to Upgrade Their Buildings
If you own or manage an apartment building, the Inflation Reduction Act's Home Energy Rebate programs can cover much of the cost of modern, energy-efficient upgrades. The Home Efficiency Rebates program (HER, called HOMES in some states) funds whole-building upgrades based on modeled energy savings. The High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebates program (HEEHR, formerly HEAR) allows up to $14,000 per unit under federal limits to replace existing electric equipment with high-efficiency electric equipment. Each state runs its own program and sets its own rebate amounts, so what your building can receive depends on where it is.
Most programs require that at least half of a building's households meet income limits. Under federal rules in effect since September 2026, HEEHR rebates no longer cover replacing gas or other fossil-fuel equipment, and insulation and air sealing may be required before heating and cooling upgrades. Buildings heated with gas may still qualify for whole-building upgrades through HER, depending on the state.
Liberty Home Comfort is a registered contractor in every state we serve. We sort out which program fits your building, then handle qualification, paperwork and installation from start to finish.
