How much can I get through Georgia home energy rebates?

The HEAR program offers up to $8,000 toward a qualifying high-efficiency heat pump, but the amount depends on income. A household at or below 80 percent of Area Median Income can qualify for up to 100 percent of the project cost up to the cap, and a household between 80 and 150 percent can qualify for up to 50 percent. Above 150 percent of Area Median Income, HEAR does not apply. The figure is a maximum confirmed after an income review, not a flat discount, which is why One Hour runs an eligibility check first.

Is there a deadline to use the rebate for a heat pump conversion?

Yes, and it is close. Following updated federal guidance, Georgia's program set a cutoff for fuel-switching projects, meaning replacing a gas furnace with an electric heat pump. Those scopes of work must be submitted by 10:00 am Eastern on August 10, 2026, after which only electric-to-electric upgrades remain eligible. Because the application and assessment take time and funding is limited, a homeowner planning a gas-to-heat-pump conversion should start well before that date.

Can I still combine this with the federal tax credit?

No. The federal residential energy tax credit that once covered heat pumps expired on December 31, 2025, so a Georgia installation completed in 2026 cannot claim it, even though some contractor sites still advertise it. For a 2026 install, the HEAR rebate, along with any applicable utility rebate, is the primary savings path. One Hour can advise whether a separate utility rebate applies to a given installation.
