Georgia - Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) Program

Summary

Note: The Federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) Program. The IRA established the main parameters for this program but allowed the states to customize the program to meet their state-specific needs. The program is designed to award rebates for purchase of qualifying home electrification equipment and appliances. Residents earning less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) can receive the full rebate amount, and residents earning between 80% and 150% AMI can receive a partial rebate. See summary below and program website for complete details.

Georgia’s HEAR program is now available as a limited pilot and is expected to fully launch by March 31, 2025. During the pilot program-approved contractors will use their existing client base to deliver savings to eligible households.

Georgia’s HEAR program helps low-and-moderate income households saving money on specific appliance purchases, including heat pumps, insulation, heat pump water heaters, heat pump clothes dryers, among other appliances. Heat pump purchases will require an assessment before installation to qualify.
