Alaska Residential Energy Rebates

Power up an energy efficient home! Improving the energy efficiency of your home is a smart investment. Upcoming rebates may help support your home improvements, including upgrading old appliances to Energy Star® certified appliances, improving insulation and adding an energy efficient heat pump.

AHFC is designing rebate programs that both follow U.S. Department of Energy guidelines and take Alaska's unique needs and challenges into consideration. Upon DOE approval of Alaska's energy rebate programs plans, AHFC will announce the news on this page and through email notification.

Developing Programs:

Home Efficiency Rebate

Rebates for whole-house energy savings retrofits.

Incentives for most households meeting income qualifications:

  • $2,000 for 20% energy savings
  • $4,000 for 35% energy savings

Savings are doubled for households with income below 80% of the Area Median Income.

Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate

Point-of-sale consumer discounts on the purchase of certain high-efficiency electric home appliances, and rebates for certain home electrical upgrades, insulation, and air sealing performed by an approved contractor. There is an income cap of 150% of the Area Median Income to participate.

New Home Construction Rebate

Unlike the residential energy rebate programs, the New Home Construction rebate is funded by the Alaska Legislature. Its aim is to increase housing opportunities for Alaskans.

Future Programs:

Solar for All

Part of the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund managed by the Environmental Protection Agency and created under the Inflation Reduction Act, AHFC will focus on a statewide residential program for low- to moderate-income households that provides subsidized solar installations for utility grid-connected households where net metering applies.

  • Anticipated households 800-1,500
  • Minimize greenhouse gas emissions across Alaska
  • Provide renewable energy access to low-income and disadvantaged communities
