Federally funded weatherization for income-qualified Kansas households (at or below 200% of federal poverty level). Delivered through local Community Action Agencies. Kansas's extreme temperature swings make insulation and air sealing especially high-value.
Learn moreArea Median Income (AMI) in Kansas
HOMES and HEAR rebate amounts depend on your household income relative to the Area Median Income in your area. AMI varies by county and household size.
| Area | 80% AMI (Family of 4) | 150% AMI (Family of 4) |
|---|---|---|
| Johnson County | $90,700 | $170,000 |
| Sedgwick County | $77,200 | $144,700 |
| Shawnee County | $79,050 | $148,200 |
| Douglas County | $88,300 | $165,500 |
| Riley County | $79,200 | $148,500 |
| Reno County | $68,550 | $128,500 |
Eligibility is set by county and household size. The 80% figures are the HUD FY2026 income limits published for each county and are reproduced as-is. HUD does not publish a 150% limit, so that column is computed from the 80% limit; checked against Minnesota's official 2026 county table, the method lands within $200 on every county, but where your state publishes its own table, that table governs. Figures are for a 4-person household and change with household size.

Energy Rebate Calculator is an independent website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. Department of Energy, Kansas, or any other government agency, and nothing on this page is an offer, an application, or a promise of payment.
Federal and state rebate programs launch, pause, change their amounts and run out of funds without notice, and eligibility rules differ by county, household size, housing type and sometimes by region within a state. Most programs also refuse to pay for work completed before their launch date. Figures here are published to help you understand roughly where you stand, not to be relied on as the final word.
Confirm your eligibility and the current terms directly with the administering agency, and get written confirmation, before you sign a contract or buy equipment. Where this page cites an official source, that source governs. If you spot something out of date on this page, tell us and we will correct it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What energy rebates are available in Kansas in 2026?
Kansas homeowners in 2026 can access: (1) Federal HEAR rebates for heat pumps (up to $8,000), heat pump water heaters ($1,750), insulation ($1,600), and electrical panels ($4,000) for income-qualified households (≤150% AMI); (2) HOMES whole-home performance rebates up to $8,000; (3) Evergy utility efficiency rebates; (4) Free weatherization for income-qualified households. The 25C and 25D federal tax credits expired December 31, 2025.
Are federal tax credits still available in Kansas?
No. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA, P.L. 119-21, signed July 4, 2025) terminated the Section 25C and 25D federal energy tax credits for installations after December 31, 2025. For 2026 installations, HEAR and HOMES are the primary federal incentive paths.
Who administers HEAR and HOMES in Kansas?
The Kansas Energy Office administers the HEAR and HOMES programs. Contact them or visit their website to find participating contractors. Evergy also has participating contractors familiar with stacking utility and federal rebates.
Are heat pumps suitable for Kansas winters?
Yes, with cold-climate models. Kansas winters can be cold (Wichita averages about 18°F low in January, Dodge City around 15°F), and occasional extreme cold snaps dip below 0°F. Cold-climate heat pumps rated to -13°F handle typical Kansas winters well, with backup heat activating during extreme events. The combination of hot summers and cold winters maximizes heat pump value as a single system replacing both AC and furnace.
How much can a Kansas household save with a heat pump upgrade?
Savings depend on your existing system. Replacing a 15-year-old SEER 10 central AC + gas furnace with a SEER2 17+ heat pump typically reduces total annual heating/cooling costs by 20–35% in Kansas's climate. With HEAR rebates (up to $8,000 for qualifying households) reducing upfront costs, payback periods are often under 8 years, faster for propane-heated homes.
