Join a network of professionals
helping Kentuckians

The Kentucky Home Energy Rebates Program is awaiting unconditional approval from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). While waiting on DOE approval, we are actively preparing to deliver the program in a way that will allow a quick launch.

When launched, the Kentucky Home Energy Rebates program will support hardworking Kentucky families statewide, making it more affordable for them to install energy-saving solutions like heat pumps, appliances, electric panels, and insulation. Regardless of whether the home is new or old, rented or owned, or an apartment building or stand-alone house, the energy-saving solutions have the potential to reduce the amount Kentuckians spend to heat or cool their homes. The Kentucky Home Energy Rebates program aims to make a Better Kentucky one home at a time.
