On August 29, 2024, the Arizona Governor's Office of Resiliency launched the first phase of the Efficiency Arizona program, Arizona's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program.

The first phase will be deployed in partnership with Wildfire, a network of Community Action Agencies across the state, to provide rebates to qualifying households for the replacement of air conditioning units. Additional phases will introduce more electrification measures and a multifamily building pilot. Rebates are available to households below 80% Area Median Income (AMI) for up to 100 percent of project costs and households between 80 percent and 150 percent AMI up to 50 percent of project costs.

For more information on Arizona's HEAR program, including future phases and household and project eligibility, visit the Efficiency Arizona website. The NASEO Residential Energy Efficiency and Beneficial Electrification Task Force hosts regular meetings featuring on the implementation of the Home Energy Performance-Based Whole-House Rebates and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates programs.
