Georgia Home Energy Rebates for NW Georgia Homes

They are two federally funded programs administered by the State of Georgia. HER (Home Efficiency Rebates) rewards whole-home energy-savings projects such as insulation, air sealing, duct sealing and efficient HVAC, scaled to how much energy you save. HEAR (Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates) helped income-qualified households move to electric equipment such as heat pumps; from October 26, 2026, it accepts new single-family applications only for electrical panel upgrades and wiring completed together with an eligible HER project, while limited funds last.

Only in a limited form. From October 26, 2026, HEAR accepts new single-family applications again, with limited funding, and only for electrical panel upgrades and wiring completed together with an eligible HER project. It isn’t available as standalone work, approval of the HEAR work depends on approval of the paired HER project, and applications are reviewed first-come, first-served while funds last. Other HEAR measures and multifamily projects are not reopening. If you already have an approved HEAR reservation, it may continue under its approved scope as long as it still meets program requirements. Contact our team to discuss whether your project may be a candidate.

HER is generally available across income levels and is tied to your project’s modeled energy savings. Income limits, qualifying measures and funding are set by state and federal agencies and change, so we don’t quote fixed numbers here. Our team can explain the current income limits and requirements during a short pre-screen, and final eligibility is determined by the program administrator.

There’s no fixed list. HER is based on an energy model of your home and its projected whole-home savings, and the model shows which improvements fit. Potential measures include insulation, air sealing, duct sealing, HVAC and heat pumps, water heaters, and replacement windows and doors, usually as part of a whole-home project. No improvement qualifies automatically, and HVAC-only projects aren’t approved as standalone HER projects.

Anderson starts the process. After a short pre-screen and our internal review, we start your application; you complete your sections, submit your own income documentation and provide 12 months of power bills. Then a qualified technician assesses the home, the energy model identifies improvements that may qualify, and the work and documentation follow program requirements. Final eligibility and approval are determined by the program administrator.

No. Contact our team first. After a short pre-screen and our internal review, Anderson starts the application and guides you through the sections you complete yourself, including your own income documentation and 12 months of power bills.

Assessment costs depend on your household and project. Our team explains how they apply to you during the pre-screen, before any assessment is scheduled.

Yes. Anderson is an approved participating contractor for Georgia’s Home Energy Rebates and has been since the programs launched. A qualified technician performs the assessment the program requires, including blower-door and safety testing and an energy model, and we help with the application portal and the documentation for your submission. Final eligibility and approval are determined by the program administrator.

Our team will review your information and follow up regarding the next steps. That usually starts with a short pre-screen about your household, your power bills, your home and the improvements you’re considering. An assessment isn’t scheduled until your application and documents are in place.

Not for new work. The federal 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit ended for improvements placed in service after December 31, 2025. Qualifying work installed in 2025 or earlier may still be claimed on that year’s tax return; check with your tax professional.

No. Weatherization work such as insulation and air sealing can be part of an HER project without replacing your HVAC. In fact, HVAC-only projects aren’t approved as standalone HER projects; equipment counts as part of a whole-home plan. We build a step-by-step plan around your budget rather than pushing one big purchase.

They can, but not automatically. Windows and doors may be included when the energy model shows they’re part of the scope needed to reach the required savings. Crawlspace work can qualify when the model calls for eligible insulation, air sealing or other building-envelope measures.

Our HER work is focused on Gordon County, home to our Calhoun shop at 519 Pine Street, and we can also consider projects in Bartow, Floyd, Gilmer, Walker, Whitfield, Murray and Pickens counties.
