Congratulations to Arizona which became the second state in the nation to launch the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) portion of the Home Energy Rebate Program—enabling low- and middle-income households to save on energy efficiency improvements! Managed by the DOE State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) , the Home Energy Rebate Program initiative seeks to provide $8.8 billion in Federal funding for states, territories, and Tribes to lower energy costs and increase efficiency in American homes by making it cheaper to install cost-saving measures such as heat pumps, electrical panels, and insulation In Arizona, 1 in 10 households are severely energy-burdened, with some of the lowest-income families in the nation spending upwards of 30% of their income on energy bills. Initially, Arizona’s Efficiency Arizona (HEAR) program, in partnership with regional community action agencies, will focus on providing heat pumps under an air-conditioning replacement program addressing heat relief emergencies and/or financial hardships. Later this fall, Arizona plans to roll out the remainder of its HEAR program, which will provide lower- and middle-income homeowners and renters with up to $14,000 in rebates to upgrade equipment and appliances!
