How Georgia’s Home Electrification & Appliance Rebates Are Funded

When most people think about home rebate programs, they picture a single-family house. But in Georgia, many residents live in condos, townhomes, duplexes, or even larger multifamily buildings—and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) Program has options for them too. If you own a unit in a multifamily property, you may be eligible for many of the same rebates as single-family homeowners, opening the door to meaningful savings on upgrades that improve comfort and efficiency.

Multi-Family buildings are defined broadly as any single building with 2 to 4 units. The Multifamily Program is open to developers, building or property owners, property managers, and contractors associated with multifamily buildings. Eligible upgrades are the same as those offered in the single-family program, including high-efficiency heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, electric cooktops, insulation improvements, and even electrical panel upgrades. Depending on the property, these improvements can be made to individual units or applied more broadly across an entire building, multiplying the benefits for everyone. Rebates cover 50-100% of the cost of upgrades depending on income level up to $14,000 per unit.

The advantages for multifamily homeowners are clear. Residents can enjoy lower monthly energy bills, more consistent heating and cooling, and healthier indoor air from cleaner appliances. These improvements can also boost property values, which is particularly appealing to condo owners who may one day want to sell. At a building-wide level, coordinated upgrades can reduce overall operating costs, making properties more attractive and sustainable in the long term.

For Georgia residents who live in multifamily properties, the HEAR Program represents an important opportunity. By working with neighbors, HOAs, or building managers, multifamily homeowners can access the same cost savings, energy improvements, and comfort upgrades as anyone else. The key is to get informed, start conversations early, and explore what options are available for your specific situation.
