Learn moreArea Median Income (AMI) in Louisiana
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) |
|---|---|---|
| Jefferson Parish | $70,900 | $132,900 |
| East Baton Rouge Parish | $75,600 | $141,700 |
| Caddo Parish | $63,350 | $118,700 |
| Lafayette Parish | $72,250 | $135,400 |
| St. Tammany Parish | $83,350 | $156,200 |
| Calcasieu Parish | $74,400 | $139,500 |
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, Louisiana, 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 If you spot something out of date on this page, tell us and we will correct it.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 Louisiana in 2026?
Entergy Louisiana's residential energy efficiency rebate programs, branded Entergy Solutions, have not launched yet. The utility says they are on track to begin launching this summer, so check entergylouisiana.com before assuming any rebate is available. Federal HEAR and HOMES rebates are also not yet open in Louisiana.
Are federal tax credits still available in Louisiana?
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. If you installed qualifying equipment before that date, you can still claim the credit on your 2025 tax return. For 2026 installations, HEAR and HOMES rebates are the primary federal incentive paths.
Do many Louisiana households qualify for maximum HEAR rebates?
Yes. Louisiana has one of the lower average incomes in the US, meaning a larger proportion of households fall below the 80% AMI threshold for maximum HEAR coverage (100% of cost up to $8,000). In the Shreveport-Bossier City area, for example, the 80% AMI for a 4-person household is approximately $52,240, many Louisiana families fall within this range. Use our calculator with your specific area to check eligibility.
Are heat pumps more efficient than central air systems in Louisiana?
Yes. Modern heat pump systems with high SEER2 ratings (18+) are significantly more efficient than older central air conditioning systems. In Louisiana's hot, humid climate, upgrading an older SEER 10-13 central air system to a high-efficiency SEER2 18+ heat pump can reduce cooling costs by 25–40% annually. The heat pump also handles winter heating (Louisiana winters are mild), replacing the need for electric resistance heat strips or supplemental gas heating.
What should I do first to get Louisiana energy rebates?
Start with a home energy assessment to identify the highest-value improvements. Contact Louisiana DNR or visit their website to find HEAR/HOMES participating contractors in your area. If you're income-qualified, also contact your local Community Action Agency about free weatherization services. For Entergy Louisiana customers, check Entergy's efficiency program page for current utility rebates that can be stacked with federal incentives.
