Oklahoma: heat pump & home energy rebates
Oklahoma has not opened applications yet. Below is what’s known about timing and what you can claim in the meantime.
What the state says now: The Oklahoma Department of Commerce describes its federal home energy rebates as forthcoming and says it has no estimated timeline; it will deliver them through contractors it procures.
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 Oklahoma are set by the state’s energy office. For the full federal picture, read heat pump tax credit 2026: what replaced it.
Programs in Oklahoma
- HOMES and HEEHR (formerly HEAR), $129,152,880 in total — described by the Oklahoma Department of Commerce as forthcoming; no estimated timeline
- Commerce will use external contractors to deliver both programs and does not endorse anyone offering these rebate services now

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.
- Get a Manual J load calculation before accepting any heat pump quote; oversizing wastes both the rebate and the savings.
