Efficiency Arizona (HEAR) rebates open

Administered by the Arizona Governor's Office of Resiliency, through the Efficiency Arizona program.

Efficiency Arizona pays up to $14,000 per household toward heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, electric cooking, insulation and panel upgrades, all of the cost below 80% of area median income and half up to 150%. Since 1 September 2026 it pays only to replace electric equipment, not gas, and only owner-occupants can apply.

What it pays

The most each upgrade can get, applied to the contractor's invoice
Upgrade	Condition	Up to
Heat pump for heating or cooling	Per appliance	$8,000
Electrical panel (load service center)	Only with a qualifying appliance	$4,000
Electrical wiring	Only with a qualifying appliance	$2,500
Heat pump water heater	Contractor, or a retail coupon	$1,750
Insulation, air sealing and ventilation		$1,600
Electric stove, cooktop, range or oven	Contractor, or a retail coupon	$840
Heat pump clothes dryer	Contractor, or a retail coupon	$840

Share of the cost the rebate covers
Household income	Rebate covers
Below 80% of area median income	100% of project cost, up to the limits
80% to 150% of area median income	50% of project cost, up to the limits
Above 150%	Not eligible

The share of cost comes from the Governor's Office of Resiliency's Clean Energy Hub page; Efficiency Arizona's own site says only that rebates cover 'a percentage of the total project costs ... depending on income level'.

Who is eligible

income: At or below 150% of area median income, by HUD's county figures, or categorically eligible through LIHEAP, SNAP, SSI, AHCCCS Medicaid, Lifeline, free school lunch, Head Start, public housing and several others.
who: Homeowners who live in the home. Efficiency Arizona's FAQ: rebates for renters and multifamily owners 'may be available ... in future phases but not at this time'.
equipment replaced: From 1 September 2026, rebates replace existing electric appliances and heat pumps only. The Governor's Office page still says homes with an existing heat pump are not eligible for the heat pump rebate; the program's September rules allow replacing one.
how: Apply first; an Efficiency Arizona contractor does the work and deducts the rebate. Nothing already installed qualifies.

The thing most pages get wrong

Arizona's federal appliance rebate no longer pays to switch from gas. Efficiency Arizona's notice: 'No More Fuel Switching: Rebates will no longer be allowed for replacement of gas appliances with electric appliances'; reservations from 1 September 2026 follow the new rules. The state's Clean Energy Hub page still describes the old program and points to federal tax credits that ended with 2025.

Landlords: the state's two pages disagree

The Governor's Office's Clean Energy Hub says 'Homeowners and landlords are eligible'. Efficiency Arizona's FAQ says the program serves only homeowners who live in the home, not renters or multifamily owners, 'at this time'. Go by the program's own FAQ.

What did not change

The maximum rebates, the product list, the panel and wiring rebates (still only alongside an appliance) and the retail coupons. Heat pumps no longer have to be the home's main heating and cooling. Rebates are available through 2031 while funding lasts.
