Rebates That Go Further Than Tax Credits

The Inflation Reduction Act bankrolls two significant rebate programs for residential energy efficiency that extend well past the 25C tax credit. Where tax credits reduce your tax bill, rebates deliver direct payments or instant point-of-sale discounts — opening the door for homeowners who carry little or no federal tax liability. States administer these programs, and North Carolina is actively working to distribute its allocation to WNC residents.

The HOMES Rebate Program

The Home Owner Managing Energy Savings (HOMES) program incentivizes verified energy efficiency gains. Projects achieving ≥20% energy reduction: Up to $2,000 (or $4,000 for low/moderate-income households). Projects achieving ≥35% energy reduction: Up to $4,000 (or $8,000 for low/moderate-income households). This program assesses whole-home performance — pairing HVAC upgrades with insulation, air sealing, and additional measures to reach validated energy savings. Results must be confirmed through energy modeling or before-and-after measurement.

HEEHR: High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate

The HEEHR program delivers point-of-sale rebates for electrification upgrades: Heat pump HVAC system: Up to $8,000. Heat pump water heater: Up to $1,750. Electrical panel upgrade: Up to $4,000. Electrical wiring: Up to $2,500. These substantial rebates focus on low and moderate-income households (earning under 150% of area median income). For eligible WNC families, the HEEHR program alone can offset the majority — or the entirety — of a heat pump installation.

Where North Carolina Stands

NC's rollout of IRA rebate programs continues — the state has received its federal funding and is building out the distribution infrastructure. Check with the NC Department of Environmental Quality and Quality Mechanical for the latest status. While those programs are finalized, the 25C tax credit is available right now for every qualifying HVAC installation. We track all current incentives and work with every customer to maximize savings on new HVAC installations.
