Georgia Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates: Paused
The program is paused. Paused and not accepting new applications. The provider says the October reopening will cover only wiring and panel upgrades alongside eligible HER projects.
Serves: Georgia households statewide.
Do I Qualify
- The original program serves income-qualified Georgia households below 150% of county area median income.
- An approved contractor must handle the heat-pump project.
- Replacing an existing electric heat pump with another electric heat pump is not a qualifying first purchase.
- Do not start a new HVAC project expecting HEAR funding under the announced limited reopening.
How Much Comes Off
| Equipment | Requirement | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Ducted heat pump for space heating or cooling | ENERGY STAR certified; replace non-electric heating or make a qualifying first heat-pump purchase. | $8,000 per household |
| Non-ducted heat pump for space heating or cooling | ENERGY STAR certified; replace non-electric heating or make a qualifying first heat-pump purchase. | $8,000 per household |
Who Files It
The household works with a program-approved contractor through the state application process.
The money is paid to the contractor.
The Steps to Apply
- Read the current pause and reopening notice before arranging work. Read status.
- For an existing approved reservation, contact the program about that project's funding.
