On September 28, 2026, West Virginia Governor Morrisey announced the statewide launch of the Home Energy Managing Energy Savings (HOMES) and Home Efficiency Appliance Rebates (HEAR) programs. HOMES provides up to $20,000 for heat pump installations, gas equipment upgrades, and weatherization improvements. HEAR offers rebates for equipment and appliances determined by income eligibility. 

“Affordability is one of the biggest challenges facing West Virginia families, and lowering monthly energy bills is one way we can help families keep more of their hard-earned money,” said Governor Morrisey. “We want to hold down energy costs, create good-paying jobs, and make sure West Virginians have every opportunity to get ahead.”

For more information on the programs, visit the West Virginia Office of Energy Home Energy Rebate Programs website. The NASEO Residential Energy Efficiency Task Force hosts regular meetings featuring the implementation of the Home Owner Managing Energy Savings Rebate Program and the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program.
