Arizona Home Energy Rebates Funding Allocation

President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act established the Home Electrification and Home Efficiency Rebate Programs (together, the Home Energy Rebate Programs). The Home Energy Rebate Programs include $8.8 billion dollars in grant funding for states and Tribes to establish consumer home energy rebate programs, enabling communities to make homes more energy efficient, upgrade to electric appliances, and cut energy costs. Arizona was allocated about $153 million.

In Arizona's Extreme Heat Preparedness Plan, Governor Hobbs appointed the nation’s first Chief Heat Officer to coordinate heat-specific efforts between agencies on shelter, energy, health, and disaster response.

Appointment of Chief Heat Officer

The Inflation Reduction Act, signed by President Biden on August 16, 2022, allocates millions of dollars to Arizona households to increase energy efficiency, promote clean energy and combat climate change through various initiatives, including the Home Efficiency Rebates Program (HOMES) and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates Program (HEAR) the State of Arizona will now be offering. The first phase of Efficiency Arizona will be an air-conditioning replacement program. Future phases will roll out in late 2024 and early 2025.
