Requires the Home Energy Assessment path. Income-qualified households may instead be routed to HomeWarming, which covers upgrades at no cost.
Closed. July 31, 2026 was the last day to apply. Homeowners who applied before that date have until January 31, 2027 to upload documents, and all work must be completed and paid for before that deadline. Many pages published earlier in 2026 still present this as open.
Closed to new applicants. Multiple 2026 sources now report this, including guides updated in July and August 2026. Older pages describing $40,000 interest-free with no income test refer to the program while it was open.
Closed to new applications on January 20, 2026. Listed here only because it still appears as active on many contractor pages and in older AI answers. Pre-registered applicants may still be paid out for completed work.
How this page is maintained
Rebate programs change on budget cycles and the pages that rank for them mostly don't. No figure appears here without the date it was last checked against the administering body's own page. Where official and secondary sources disagree, both readings are shown and flagged rather than quietly resolved. Closed programs stay visible and marked closed, because burying them is how the myths spread.
