Program details

How it works

Energy Saver North Carolina is the state’s home energy rebate program. It includes the Homeowners Managing Efficiency Savings (HOMES) rebates and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program.

What the money covers

The program page says the rebates support:

  • Energy-efficiency improvements such as insulation and air sealing
  • Upgrading heating and cooling systems
  • Energy-efficient appliances and home electrification upgrades

Timing and deadlines

The program launched in January 2025, and a February 10, 2026 state announcement says it is available in all 100 counties.

Notes

This is not a wildfire-specific hardening program, but it is a statewide homeowner incentive program that can fund broader home upgrades. The page does not give a single dollar cap on the main page excerpt.
