Frequently Asked Questions

What wiring work qualifies for the $2,500 HEAR rebate?

The rebate covers electrical wiring upgrades needed to support new electric appliances. This includes running new 240V circuits for heat pumps, electric stoves, heat pump water heaters, and electric dryers. The work must be done by a licensed electrician and connected to a home electrification project.

Is the wiring rebate separate from the electrical panel rebate?

Yes. The HEAR program provides up to $2,500 for wiring and up to $4,000 for electrical panel upgrades as separate line items. If your home needs both, you could receive up to $6,500 combined for electrical infrastructure, all counting toward the $14,000 per-household HEAR cap.

Can I get the wiring rebate for installing an EV charger outlet?

The wiring must be associated with HEAR-eligible electrification. While a 240V outlet could serve an EV charger, the rebate is intended for wiring that supports qualifying appliances like heat pumps, electric stoves, and water heaters. Wiring solely for an EV charger may not qualify on its own. Check your state's program rules.
