Missouri Home Energy Rebates (HOMES and HEEHR) not launched

Administered by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Division of Energy, with the Environmental Improvement and Energy Resources Authority and BDO Government Services.

Missouri's two federal home energy rebates have not launched, and the state is still waiting for federal approval of the application it sent in November 2024. The Department of Natural Resources says the rebates may not be available until 2027 at the earliest, and possibly as late as 2028. Eligibility, amounts and how to apply are not set.

What it pays

Federal money set aside for Missouri (not yet released)
Program	Allocation
HOMES: whole-home upgrades that save at least 20% of a home's energy	$75,654,083
HEEHR: heat pumps and other electric equipment, low and moderate incomes	$75,366,640

No published cap — and that is the honest answer

Missouri has published no rebate amounts and no income limits for either program. The department says details about eligibility and how to apply are not finalized, and that up to 20% of each allocation can go to running the programs.

The department also warns that the federal money 'will only be sufficient to reach a limited set of households'. It says participants will be allowed to combine these rebates with certain other funding, such as utility rebates.

Who is eligible

status: Application submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy on 22 November 2024; in August 2026 the department said it was still waiting for federal approval and funding.
HOMES: Whole-home efficiency upgrades based on modeled energy savings, for upgrades that save at least 20% of the home's energy use.
HEEHR: Heat pumps and other qualified electric projects 'in low-to-moderate income households', in the department's words. Missouri calls this program HEEHR, not HEAR.
who will run it: BDO Government Services, chosen in August 2026 after a request for proposals issued on 10 June 2026.

The thing most pages get wrong

A rebate calculator says Missouri's rebates are 'approved but not launched', and its own FAQ tells readers that Missourians 'in 2026 can access' HEAR rebates up to $8,000 and HOMES rebates up to $8,000. The Department of Natural Resources said on 20 August 2026 that it is still waiting for federal approval and funding, and its program page says rebates may not come until 2027 at the earliest.

HEEHR is Missouri's name for HEAR

Most rebate sites call the federal appliance rebate HEAR. Missouri's documents use the statute's name, the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate program, or HEEHR. It is the same federal program, and in Missouri it is not open.

What happened in 2026

The Environmental Improvement and Energy Resources Authority issued a request for proposals for a single contractor on 10 June 2026, noting the state's applications were still pending federal approval. On 20 August 2026 the department announced BDO Government Services as its partner.
