Summary:
Under the Home Energy Rebate Program homeowners who want to make their own energy efficiency improvements on their home can receive a rebate for some of their expenditures. The program requires a home energy rater to evaluate homes before and after the improvements. Rebates are dependent on the relative amount of efficiency gained and receipts from eligible improvements chosen by the homeowner from the energy rating’s improvement options list. The Home Energy Rebate Program provides rebates up to $10,000 to homeowners who improve the energy efficiency of their homes. In addition, the Rebate program provides a $7,500 rebate for qualified new 5 Star Plus homes.
To participate in the program, the homeowner must sign-up for an energy rating by contacting the AK REBATE Call Center at 1-877-AK-REBATE or sign-up online. Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) will reimburse the homeowner up to $375 for the cost of the first rating and up to $175 for the post-improvement rating. Extensive information on the program, including “The Home Energy Rebate Program Consumer Guide”, is available on the AHFC website or by calling AHFC at 1-800-478-2432 or 1-907-338-6100. Recorded information on the programs is available by calling The Home Energy Rebate & Weatherization Hotline at 1-877-325-2508 (statewide except Anchorage; in Anchorage call 330-8300).
