Resources for State and Tribal Rebate Programs

Home Energy Rebate Programs

ENERGY STAR certification is a requirement for state, territorial, and Tribal-led home energy rebate programs, where applicable. The two programs are:

• Home Electrification and Appliances Rebate (HEAR) Program
• Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) Program

ENERGY STAR is widely recognized and trusted by consumers. Our marketing approach is backed by decades of experience working with partners to identify and overcome barriers limiting widespread adoption of energy efficient options. While the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with oversight and guidance for the rebate programs, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plays an important role by:

• Maintaining the integrity of the ENERGY STAR program and overseeing the appropriate use of the ENERGY STAR name and marks.
• Extending the benefits of our voluntary partnership to state, territorial and Tribal entities charged with implementing these rebate programs.
