South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff / Energy Office · State program
Expected rebates of $2,000-$16,000 for HOMES and up to $14,000 for HEAR, but the programs are not yet open.
South Carolina is building a statewide home energy rebate program that could pay homeowners for energy-efficiency upgrades and appliance replacements. The official page says the rebates are not yet available and are expected to launch in 2026.
Program details
How it works
South Carolina’s Home Energy Rebate initiative includes two programs: Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR). The page says both programs are being designed and are intended to provide financial incentives for home upgrades.
What the money covers
- HOMES: comprehensive home energy efficiency improvements
- HEAR: high-efficiency electric appliances and related upgrades
Amounts
The page says:
- HOMES rebates may range from $2,000 to $16,000 depending on total energy savings and household income
- HEAR rebates may provide up to $14,000 for eligible households earning less than 150% of area median income
Timing
The official page says the rebates are not yet available and are expected to launch statewide in 2026.
Important note for homeowners
This is an energy program rather than a wildfire or storm-hardening program, but it is a statewide home-improvement incentive currently documented by the state.
