When we visit your home, we'll identify which upgrades make the most sense for your home and help to determine your eligibility and potential rebate amount. From there, we’ll guide you through the pre-approval process so you can lock in your rebates before work begins.

Eligible upgrades include insulation, air sealing, energy-efficient HVAC systems, heat pumps, electric stoves, heat pump water heaters, panel upgrades, and more.

The specific upgrades that qualify  and the rebate amount - depend on your home’s needs and the results of your energy assessment.

You can receive up to $20,000 through HOMES and up to $14,000 through HEAR, depending on your income and the upgrades you install.

However, most rebates cover only a portion of the project. In particular, the standard rebates cover a maximum of 50%, meaning that you’ll need to pay the remaining 50% out of pocket. For example, if a project qualifies for an $800 rebate, you're responsible for at least $800 in costs.

We’ll help you understand your rebate level and total expected costs upfront, so there are no surprises.

Most Michigan homeowners and renters may qualify. Priority is given to low- to moderate-income households, but eligibility is based on your income and the energy savings potential of your project. A home energy assessment is required to confirm both.

Yes - as long as you’re not using both programs for the same upgrade. For example, you can use HOMES for insulation and HEAR for a heat pump, but you can’t double up on rebates for the same item. You’ll also need to meet the income and eligibility rules for both programs.

No—rebates only apply to projects that are pre-approved through the MiHER program. That means the work must be planned and approved before installation starts. If you've already completed the upgrade, it won't qualify for MiHER funding.

No - MiHER rebates are not considered taxable income. They’re treated as a discount on the cost of the upgrade, so you won’t need to report them on your taxes.

Yes - you can stack MiHER with other programs, like federal tax credits or utility rebates, as long as you’re not using multiple incentives for the same exact upgrade. We’ll help you navigate the options to get the most savings possible.

You can show income eligibility in two ways:

1. Direct proof (like pay stubs, recent tax returns, or benefit statements), or

2. Categorical eligibility by participating in programs like Medicaid, SNAP, LIHEAP, WIC, or Weatherization Assistance.
