Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the rebate for an electric dryer?
The HEAR program provides up to $840 for electric clothes dryers. Households at or below 80% AMI get 100% of costs covered up to the cap. Households between 80-150% AMI get 50% of costs. Heat pump dryers and standard electric dryers both qualify.
What is a heat pump dryer and should I get one?
A heat pump dryer recycles hot air instead of venting it outside, using about 50% less energy than conventional dryers. They run at lower temperatures, which is gentler on clothes. They cost more upfront ($800-$1,400 vs. $400-$800 for standard electric) but save $50-$100 per year in energy costs. The HEAR rebate can offset the price difference.
Do I need a 240V outlet for an electric dryer?
Most standard electric dryers require a 240V outlet. If you're switching from a gas dryer, you'll likely need a new 240V circuit installed. The cost of this wiring may be covered separately under the $2,500 HEAR wiring rebate, in addition to the $840 dryer rebate.
