Georgia’s Home Energy Rebates: Everything You Need to Know
Learn how to qualify, maximize savings, and work with a state-approved contractor
Georgia homeowners may now qualify for up to $16,000 in rebates to boost their home’s efficiency. Through the Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) programs, you can significantly lower the cost of projects like installing efficient HVAC systems, adding insulation, sealing air leaks, or upgrading your water heater.
- Savings for Everyone: Achieve at least a 20% energy reduction and qualify for rebates—even if your income exceeds area median income thresholds.
- Extra Savings for Low-to-Moderate Income Households: Those under 80% of the area median income often see total new system costs reduced to $2,000–$5,000 (a 60–80% discount at purchase). Households below 150% AMI qualify for at least $8,000 off a new heating and cooling system at purchase.
- Stack & Save Even More: You may qualify for both HER and HEAR if you’re considering extensive work such as insulation, air sealing, electrical upgrades, or a new water heater. You can even combine rebates with the IRA 25C tax credit and Georgia Power rebates for total savings exceeding $30,000.

Real-World HEAR Example:
A Family’s Gas-to-Electric Transformation
Imagine a family of four earning $160,000 per year. They replace their old, inefficient AC and furnace with a new heat pump system costing $12,000. Because their income is under 150% of Atlanta’s AMI, they qualify for a HEAR rebate covering 50% of the total project cost (up to $14,000) right at purchase. Instead of paying $12,000, they pay only $6,000 total upfront—no waiting for tax returns or credits, and financing is easy! What else? Stack the 25C tax credit and save another 30% on your remaining $6,000—an extra $1,800—bringing your final cost down to $4,200!*
*For homes with older electrical panels, an upgrade may be required at an additional cost to safely accommodate increased loads. Note that electric-to-electric upgrades do not qualify for HEAR rebates.
Real-World HER Example:
A Family’s Whole-Home Efficiency Upgrade
Imagine a family of five earning $92,000 per year. Their older home suffers from poor insulation, leaky ducts, and outdated HVAC equipment. Working with a BPI-certified contractor, they install improved insulation, seal their ducts, and upgrade to an efficient AC and gas furnace. The project costs $23,000. Because their income is under 80% of Atlanta’s AMI and they achieved 35% energy savings, they qualify for the maximum HER rebate: $16,000 off at purchase. Instead of $23,000, they now pay just $7,000—and will enjoy significantly lower utility bills moving forward!*
*To receive HER benefits, homeowners must use state-approved contractors who meet strict qualifications, including BPI certification and comprehensive background checks.
