Learn moreArea Median Income (AMI) in Utah
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) |
|---|---|---|
| Salt Lake County | $100,900 | $189,100 |
| Utah County | $95,350 | $178,700 |
| Davis County | $94,300 | $176,800 |
| Washington County | $85,050 | $159,400 |
| Cache County | $85,050 | $159,400 |
| Tooele County | $97,050 | $181,900 |
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. 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 If you spot something out of date on this page, tell us and we will correct it.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 Utah in 2026?
Utah 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) Rocky Mountain Power 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 Utah?
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.
Are heat pumps suitable for Utah's climate?
Yes. Northern Utah (Salt Lake City area) has hot summers (90–100°F) and cold winters with occasional subzero temperatures. Modern cold-climate heat pumps handle this range well, with backup heat activating during extreme cold snaps. Southern Utah (St. George) has a more extreme desert climate with very hot summers and milder winters, heat pumps are especially efficient for cooling in this region. HEAR rebates (up to $8,000 for qualifying households) apply to qualifying heat pump installations statewide.
Who administers HEAR and HOMES rebates in Utah?
The Utah Governor's Office of Energy Development (OED) administers both the HEAR and HOMES rebate programs in Utah. Visit the OED website or contact them directly to find participating contractors and current program guidelines. Rocky Mountain Power also has participating contractors who can coordinate utility and federal rebates.
Can Utah homeowners stack Rocky Mountain Power rebates with HEAR?
Yes. Rocky Mountain Power utility rebates can generally be stacked with federal HEAR and HOMES rebates. Check Rocky Mountain Power's current energy efficiency program for heat pump water heater and other appliance rebates. For income-qualifying households, combining utility rebates with HEAR rebates maximizes total savings on efficiency improvements.
