Rebates, Credits & Grants (2026 Guide & Data)

Funding the Upgrade

Energy incentives can lower the cost of solar, heat pumps, insulation, windows, water heating, appliances, and whole-home retrofits. The hard part is sequencing them correctly.

Federal Status First

Some federal credits still matter for qualifying projects, while others changed after the 2025 placed-in-service cutoff. The safest workflow is to verify federal status before subtracting anything from a 2026 quote.

State and Utility Rules

HOMES, HEAR, utility rebates, provincial programs, and municipal financing all have different application windows. Many require pre-approval, approved equipment, and participating contractors.

Documentation Wins

Bills, model numbers, audit reports, invoices, photos, permits, and proof of payment decide whether a rebate survives review.

Use this hub to plan the incentive stack before work starts.
