Learn moreArea Median Income (AMI) in Nevada
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) |
|---|---|---|
| Clark County | $84,400 | $158,200 |
| Washoe County | $93,450 | $175,200 |

| Nye County | $82,250 | $154,200 |
| Elko County | $89,200 | $167,200 |
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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What energy rebates are available in Nevada in 2026?
Nevada 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) NV Energy utility rebates for qualifying efficiency improvements. Note: The federal 25D solar tax credit expired December 31, 2025, but state net metering credits remain available.
Is the federal solar tax credit still available in Nevada?
No. The Section 25D Residential Clean Energy Credit (the 30% federal solar tax credit) expired December 31, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). New solar installations in 2026 do not qualify for this federal credit. Nevada still has net metering policies allowing solar customers to receive bill credits for excess generation, and some battery storage programs may be available through NV Energy. The 25D credit can still be claimed on your 2025 tax return for systems installed and operational before January 1, 2026.
Are heat pumps a good investment in Nevada's climate?
Yes, particularly for homes replacing older air conditioning systems or electric resistance heat. Nevada's climate (very hot summers, mild winters in Las Vegas) makes heat pumps ideal, modern heat pumps provide both high-efficiency cooling and winter heating in a single system. The HEAR rebate (up to $8,000 for income-qualifying households) can significantly reduce upfront costs. In the Las Vegas area, upgrading to a higher-SEER2 heat pump can reduce cooling costs by 20–40% compared to older units.
How do I qualify for HEAR rebates in Nevada?
HEAR eligibility is based on household income relative to Area Median Income (AMI). In the Las Vegas MSA, the 80% AMI for a 4-person household is approximately $62,160. In Reno, it's approximately $74,320. At or below 80% AMI: 100% of heat pump cost covered up to $8,000. At 80–150% AMI: 50% covered up to $8,000. Above 150% AMI: not eligible for HEAR, but HOMES rebates based on energy savings performance may be available.
Who administers HEAR and HOMES rebates in Nevada?
The Nevada Governor's Office of Energy administers both the HEAR and HOMES rebate programs in Nevada. Contact the Office of Energy or visit their website for participating contractors, current program details, and application information. For Las Vegas-area households, the Clark County Social Service Department and local Community Action Agencies can also provide guidance on income-qualified programs.
