Home energy rebates in Utah, what each one pays and who qualifies
Six programs can help pay for energy upgrades to a Utah home. Greencat runs the two federal rebates for the State of Utah and helps with the rest. Here is what each one pays and who it is for. The one-minute check tells you which ones fit your home.
Utah has awarded its federal Home Energy Rebates to Greencat, subject to approval by the US Department of Energy. The rebates have not started yet. Check your home now and join the waiting list. When the rebates start, people on the list are scheduled first.

Utah Home Efficiency Rebate
Run by Greencat for the State of Utah
Money back on upgrades that cut your energy use, like insulation, air sealing, windows, a new furnace or a heat pump.
- Who it is for
- Any Utah household that owns or rents a home, whatever its income. Households that earn less than 80% of the typical income in their county get a larger rebate that covers more of the cost. The income limits for each county are below.
- What it pays
- The amount depends on how much energy the upgrades save. After a free visit to your home, a computer model of the home works out the savings. Under the 80% income limit, you can get $4,000 for savings of 20 to 34%, or $8,000 for 35% or more, up to 80% of the cost. Above the limit, you can get $2,000 or $4,000, up to half the cost. Insulation, sealing air leaks, windows, a new furnace or a heat pump all count.
- How to apply
- Apply with Greencat. Check your home and apply, and we book a free one-hour home energy assessment. You get a written quote with the rebate already taken off. Greencat files the paperwork.
What you could get
| In total | Up to $8,000 |
|---|---|
| Upgrades that cut your home’s energy use by 35% or more | $8,000, or 80% of the cost if that is less |
| Upgrades that cut your home’s energy use by 20% to 34% | $4,000, or 80% of the cost if that is less |
Any mix of upgrades counts together. Our assessor works out the savings for your home.
You can use this with the appliance rebate too, as long as each pays for different upgrades.
Utah Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate
Run by Greencat for the State of Utah
Pays for new electric appliances, like a heat pump, water heater, stove or dryer. Each one must replace an electric appliance or be new. The rebate comes off the price when the work is done.
- Who it is for
- Households that earn less than 150% of the typical income in their county. If you earn under 80%, it pays the full cost of each item. Between 80% and 150%, it pays half. A household can get up to $14,000 in total.
- What it pays
- It pays up to $8,000 for a heat pump that heats and cools. It pays up to $4,000 for an electrical panel and $2,500 for wiring. It pays up to $1,750 for a heat pump water heater. It pays up to $1,600 for insulation, sealing air leaks and ventilation. It pays up to $840 for an electric or induction stove and $840 for a heat pump clothes dryer. This rebate pays to replace an electric appliance with a better one, or to add a new one. It does not pay to switch a gas water heater, dryer or stove to electric. You can add a heat pump and keep your gas furnace.
- How to apply
- Apply with Greencat, the same way as the Home Efficiency Rebate. You can use both in one home, for different upgrades.
What you could get
| In total, across all upgrades | Up to $14,000 |
|---|---|
| Heat pump for heating and cooling | The full cost, up to $8,000 |
| Electrical panel upgrade | The full cost, up to $4,000 |
| Electrical wiring | The full cost, up to $2,500 |
| Heat pump water heater | The full cost, up to $1,750 |
| Insulation, air sealing and ventilation | The full cost, up to $1,600 |
| Electric or induction stove, cooktop or oven | The full cost, up to $840 |
| Heat pump clothes dryer | The full cost, up to $840 |
Rebates from your power or gas company can usually be added on top.
Weatherization Assistance Program
Free insulation, air sealing and safety repairs, done for you.
- Who it is for
- Households that earn up to twice the federal poverty level, or that already get SNAP food benefits, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income or HEAT. Renters can apply if the owner agrees.
- What it pays
- Free work, usually worth $6,500 to $8,500. It can include insulation in the attic, walls and floors, sealing air leaks, safety checks, and repairing or replacing an unsafe furnace or water heater. A visit to check the home's energy use decides what it gets. You pay nothing and claim nothing back.
- How to apply
- Apply through your local community action agency. Call 2-1-1 or visit 211utah.org. Greencat can point you to the right office.
What you could get
| In total, all of it free | Typically $6,500 to $8,500 of work |
|---|---|
| Attic, wall and floor insulation | Free |
| Sealing gaps around doors, windows and ducts | Free |
| Furnace repair, or replacement if it is unsafe | Free |
| Water heater repair or replacement | Free |
| Safety checks of smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and fresh air | Free |
An expert checks your home and decides which of these it gets. You pay nothing, and there is nothing to claim back.
HEAT energy bill help
A once-a-year payment toward your power and gas bills.
- Who it is for
- Households earning up to 150% of the federal poverty level who pay a power or gas bill.
- What it pays
- A payment once a year toward your winter heating bills, up to $1,200. Households with a child under six, a person over sixty or a person with a disability get a little more.
- How to apply
- Apply through your local HEAT office. Call 2-1-1. Applications open each fall.
What you could get
| In total, each heating season | Up to about $1,200 |
|---|---|
| Yearly payment, made straight to your power and gas company | Up to about $1,200 |

Can you use more than one?
Yes. No two programs pay for the same upgrade, but different upgrades in one home can each use a different program. The utility rebates are not federal money, so they add on top, up to the full cost of the work. HEAT is help with bills and never conflicts with the others.
Income limits by county
The federal rebates, free weatherization and HEAT have income limits that depend on your county and household size. Pick your county to see the 2026 figures.
