CEO will offer two rebate programs: Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) will support high-efficiency electric appliances and other upgrades. HEAR rebates are now available to single-family households through registered contractors. Rebates for small multifamily buildings will be available in early 2026.
Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) will support whole-home energy efficiency improvements. These rebates will be available to manufactured/mobile homes and large multifamily buildings in early 2026. Rebate type and amounts will depend on home type, household income level, installed improvements, and/or expected energy savings.
CEO is launching both the HEAR and HER programs in stages. When the programs begin, you will need to work with a registered program contractor to confirm which rebates are best for you. Please carefully review the program steps and requirements so you are ready when applications open later this year.
Your eligibility and rebate amount will depend on your type of home and household income level. If you are a tenant/renter applying for rebates yourself (rather than through your property owner), you will need to get written permission to participate from your property owner. Check your Area Median Income (AMI) Contact a registered program contractor.
A registered contractor will help you confirm eligibility, decide what upgrades your home or building needs, such as better insulation or new appliances, and guide you through the application process. Households may have to contact multiple contractors before finding the right contractor for them. View list of registered contractors Apply for your household.
Once you’re connected with a registered program contractor, you can verify your income level for eligibility by filling out an online application. You may start the application at any time, but must be working with a registered contractor and confirm you have a home upgrade plan to finish the sign-up process. Incomplete income-qualification applications, such as those without a plan, will expire after 90 days.
Complete a home assessment and select upgrades. During the assessment, your registered contractor will examine your home and explore ways to make it more energy efficient. Together, you will decide which upgrades are best for your home and family.
Your contractor will submit the proposed upgrades for approval on the online portal. Once approved, your contractor will install the upgrades and subtract the rebate amount from your qualified project cost. Enjoy your new home improvements and feel good that you saved money and improved the comfort and health of your home.
