Florida energy incentives change. Your project plan should show what is current.

BetterPowered helps identify programs that may fit the property and chosen scope, then organizes the information needed to pursue them. Eligibility, funding, dates, and approval remain with the program or tax authority.

Do not begin work based only on a listed incentive.

Confirm the application window, household or property eligibility, approved products, contractor requirements, pre-approval steps, installation dates, and available funding before signing or installing. A program can change after this page is reviewed.

Florida Energy Saver Program

Florida's state portal is the source of truth for the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program and the Home Efficiency Rebates program.

HEAR: Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates

Applications pending

The official Florida portal says the HEAR pilot is expected to launch in the future and the full program is not yet open. When active, it is designed for income-qualified households and can cover eligible products and installation subject to program limits.

HOMES: Home Efficiency Rebates

Future date

Florida's official resources page says HOMES rebates will be available at a future date. This program is built around modeled or measured whole-home energy savings and will have state-specific participation rules.

Official Florida resources and updates

Federal tax credit timing changed

Current IRS guidance reflects accelerated termination dates enacted in 2025. The commonly cited residential energy credits under Sections 25C and 25D do not apply to new qualifying property or expenditures after December 31, 2025. The Section 30C credit for qualifying refueling property ended for property placed in service after June 30, 2026.

Read the current IRS termination guidance

Utility and local programs

Electric and gas utilities, municipalities, and local programs may offer separate rebates, credits, audits, or demand-management incentives. Availability can depend on the service address, account type, rate, equipment, and installation date.

Check the serving utility before finalizing the scope.
