North Dakota: heat pump & home energy rebates

North Dakota has not opened applications yet. Below is what’s known about timing and what you can claim in the meantime.

Status last verified 2026-09-26 against North Dakota’s official program page. Rebate funding is finite and rules change mid-year — confirm details on the official page before committing to a contractor.

What the state says now: The North Dakota Department of Commerce says neither Home Energy Rebate program has launched, no rebates are available and there is no estimated launch date; it warns that current offers are likely scams.

Federal money, state doors

The federal 25C and 25D tax credits ended December 31, 2025. Federal support now flows only through two rebate programs each state runs itself: HEEHR (High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebates, formerly called HEAR — up to $14,000 per income-qualified household, including up to $8,000 for a heat pump) and HOMES (whole-home rebates based on modeled energy savings, up to $8,000, at any income). Since May 29, 2026, HEEHR pays only for upgrades from existing electric equipment, not for replacing a gas, oil or propane system. Amounts, eligibility and timing in North Dakota are set by the state’s energy office. For the full federal picture, read heat pump tax credit 2026: what replaced it.

While you wait — or on top of rebates

Utility rebates often stack with state programs. Check your electric utility's efficiency page.
Weatherization (air sealing, insulation) usually pays back faster than equipment — and HOMES rewards measured savings. Federal heat pump rebates now require it first: see what insulation pays in 2026.
