Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the property is eligible for rebates?
The new appliance must not replace an existing electric appliance of the same type in your building. For instance, if your building currently uses a heat pump for heating and cooling, it doesn’t qualify for a new heat pump under this program. However, your building is eligible for a new electric heat pump to replace a gas furnace, boiler, or other non-electric appliance.
*Note: Heat pump water heaters and heat pump clothes dryers can replace existing electric appliances, provided the existing appliance does not use heat pump technology.
Are Wisconsin's rebates available now?
Yes. Both of Wisconsin's IRA Home Energy Rebate programs, HOMES and HEAR, are open through Focus on Energy. Funding is limited, so the sooner your property is qualified, the better. Start with our questionnaire and Liberty Home Comfort will keep you updated at every step.
Can these rebates be combined with other incentives?
Often, yes. Wisconsin's IRA rebates can be combined with other Focus on Energy rebates, utility rebates and the Weatherization Assistance Program. Contact our team and we'll help you stack every incentive your property qualifies for.
WHAT ARE WISCONSIN'S HOMES AND HEAR PROGRAMS?
Wisconsin received about $149 million under the Inflation Reduction Act for two Home Energy Rebate programs, both administered by Focus on Energy. HOMES (Home Efficiency Rebates) pays performance-based rebates for whole-building upgrades, based on the energy savings your project is modeled to achieve. HEAR (Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates) provides up to $14,000 per unit for heat pumps and other efficient electric upgrades in income-qualified households.
