Georgia's Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) program is still accepting applications and rewards whole-home projects such as insulation, air sealing, duct sealing and efficient HVAC, scaled to the energy they save. HEAR paused on August 14, 2026; the state says it reopens in October 2026 with limited funding, only for electrical wiring and panel upgrades alongside an eligible HER project. The federal 25C tax credit ended for work placed in service after 2025. For a Jasper home, the first step is a home energy assessment to see what may qualify.

Plain-English Explainer
What HER and HEAR Are For
HER · Open
Home Efficiency Rebates
Rewards whole-home energy-savings projects such as insulation, air sealing, duct sealing and efficient HVAC upgrades, scaled to how much energy the project is modeled or measured to save. The deeper the savings, the larger the potential rebate. Generally available across income levels.
HEAR · Reopening, limited
Home Electrification & Appliance Rebates
Helped income-qualified households move to efficient electric equipment such as heat pumps, electric water heating and panel upgrades. Georgia paused new applications on August 14, 2026, and says the program reopens in October 2026 with limited funding, only for electrical wiring and panel upgrades done with an eligible HER project.
Upgrades That May Qualify
Which Upgrades May Qualify for HER
HER rewards measured savings, so these upgrades count most as part of a whole-home plan. We confirm eligibility for your home before any work begins.
Jasper is southeast of our Calhoun shop, in Pickens County. We're a family-owned company working out of our shop at 519 Pine Street in Calhoun, and the technician who comes to your Jasper home is one of our own, not a subcontractor.
Our scheduling system shows 36 completed jobs for Jasper customers as of August 13, 2026, 3 of them in the previous 90 days. These are job records with a Jasper billing address, not unique customers, and our records start with our 2022 system move, not 1978.
Utility rebates depend on who supplies your power, not on your town. Depending on the address, a Jasper home may be served by Amicalola EMC or Georgia Power, and each runs its own programs. Georgia Power customers, for example, have its Home Energy Improvement Program. Amounts and rules change often, so we check what applies to your address before you buy anything.
Every home and household is different, but here's the general picture for HER:
Open across income levels. The rebate scales with the energy savings your project achieves, so deeper whole-home work can earn more.
Existing homes. The program is aimed at existing homes you own and live in, though landlords may have paths too.
Documented savings. A qualified contractor assesses the home, documents the starting point, does the work to program standards and documents the result.
Dollar amounts, qualifying measures, funding and deadlines are set by state and federal agencies, not by Anderson, and they change. We won't quote a figure we can't stand behind. We'll tell you what's currently available and what you realistically qualify for.
How Anderson Helps
How a BPI-Certified Contractor Helps
Rebate programs reward documented, measured energy savings, and that is what BPI certification is built around. We perform a home energy assessment, including a blower-door test to measure how leaky your home is, and tie those numbers to a plan. When we size a new heat pump or HVAC system with a Manual J load calculation, the numbers come from real measurements.
Home energy assessment: find what may qualify before you spend.
Blower-door testing: measure how leaky your home is.
Right-sized equipment: heat pumps and HVAC sized from real data.
Documentation: before-and-after measurements and equipment records for your submission.
Start with a home energy assessment. Measure where the home is losing energy before you spend on equipment, and find out what may qualify.
Seal and insulate what makes sense. Often the lowest-cost, highest-return work, and a common part of HER projects.
Re-run the load calculation. A tighter home often needs a smaller, less expensive system than the one you were quoted.
Then install HVAC. Your new system is right-sized, and we line up the incentives you legitimately qualify for.
If your home is already tight and your system simply failed, we'll tell you that too and get you comfortable fast.

What energy rebates can Jasper homeowners use right now?
Georgia's Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) program is open and rewards whole-home projects based on the energy they save. HEAR paused on August 14, 2026; the state says it reopens in October 2026 with limited funding, only for electrical wiring and panel upgrades alongside an eligible HER project. The federal 25C tax credit ended for work placed in service after 2025. Utility programs depend on your power provider, so we check what applies to your Jasper address.
Who qualifies for Georgia home energy rebates?
HER is generally available across income levels and is tied to your project’s energy savings. Income thresholds, qualifying measures and funding are set by state and federal agencies and change, so we don’t quote fixed numbers here. A home energy assessment is the fastest way to find out what you may qualify for.
Which upgrades may qualify for HER?
Commonly included upgrades are insulation and air sealing, duct sealing, efficient heat pumps and HVAC, and efficient water heating, especially as part of a whole-home project with large modeled energy savings. We perform the assessment to identify which upgrades may qualify for your home.
How does the Georgia energy rebate process work?
In general, a qualified contractor assesses your home, identifies qualifying upgrades, documents the starting condition, performs the work to program standards and documents the result. That documentation is what a rebate submission is built on. Final eligibility and approval are determined by the program administrator.
Does Anderson handle the assessment and paperwork?
Yes. As a BPI-certified contractor, we perform the home energy assessment, take the before-and-after measurements programs require, document qualifying equipment and help you prepare the paperwork for submission. Final eligibility and approval are determined by the program administrator.
Do I have to replace my whole HVAC system to get a rebate?
No. Weatherization work such as insulation and air sealing can be part of an HER project without replacing your HVAC. Often the smartest first step is sealing and insulating, then deciding on equipment. We build a step-by-step plan around your budget rather than pushing one big purchase.
Do you do energy assessments in Jasper?
Yes. We come to Jasper homes from our shop in Calhoun to run a BPI-certified home energy assessment, including a blower-door test, and help prepare the documentation. Final eligibility and approval are determined by the program administrator. Call (706) 629-0749 to set one up.
