The West Virginia Department of Energy’s Home Energy Rebate Programs offer two distinct pathways to help residents lower their utility bills and improve home comfort through energy-efficient upgrades. The Home Owner Managing Energy Savings (HOMES) program focuses on whole-home energy performance, providing rebates for comprehensive upgrades like insulation, air sealing, and advanced heating and cooling systems where the amount you save back correlates directly to the amount of energy your home saves. Complementing this, the Home Efficiency Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program targets specific equipment upgrades, offering direct savings on modern, highly efficient appliances—such as heat pump water heaters, electric stoves, and clothes dryers—as well as the necessary wiring and ventilation improvements required to complete these electrification upgrades.
