Program Overview
The Inflation Reduction Act authorized funding for two distinct home energy rebate programs:
- The Home Efficiency Rebate Program
- The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate Program
Both home energy rebate programs will be administered through North Dakota Department of Commerce, Community Services Division.
The Home Efficiency Rebate Program provides rebates for energy efficiency improvements based on the percentage of energy savings of the whole-house project. Eligible costs may include a combination of energy saving measures such as appliance and HVAC system upgrades, adding insulation, air sealing, and associated electrical panel and/or wiring upgrades. The Home Efficiency Rebate Program will require applicants to demonstrate savings by comparing energy consumption before and after the energy conservation project.
The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate Program provides point-of-sale rebates for stand-alone home electrification and energy efficiency upgrades. Upgrading to high-efficiency electric appliances, HVAC system efficiency improvements, adding insulation, air sealing, ventilation, and upgrading in-home electrical panels are all examples of measures that may be included in North Dakota's Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate Program.
Rebate qualification for both programs is based on Area Median Income (AMI). The Home Efficiency Rebate Program amounts are tiered based on the percentage of whole-house energy savings realized and whether your gross household income falls above or below 80% AMI. The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate Program rebates are tiered based on your gross household income and eligibility is capped at 150% AMI. Appliances and HVAC systems must also meet certain efficiency standards. Both programs can be utilized for single-family, multi-family, and manufactured housing.
