Nevada Energy Rebates

West & Mountain

Nevada energy rebate landscape

Nevada is a Tier B state — moderate state programs in addition to the full federal stack and utility rebates. Most homeowners can stack 3 of the 4 program tiers.

Federal foundation (available in Nevada like every state)

• IRA 25C tax credit — up to $3,200/year on heat pumps, HVAC, envelope, audit
• IRA 25D tax credit — 30% uncapped on solar, geothermal, batteries through 2032
• DOE HOMES rebate — performance-based, up to $8,000/home, administered by Nevada Governor's Office of Energy
• DOE HEAR rebate — income-capped (≤150% AMI), up to $14,000/home, administered by Nevada Governor's Office of Energy

Same as AZ — cool roofing, AC efficiency, heat pump for mild winter heating.

How to put together your Nevada rebate stack

1. Identify your utility from the list above and visit their efficiency-program page for current rebate offerings.
2. Check Nevada Governor's Office of Energy's site for HOMES and HEAR rollout status (whether the program is live in your county and what contractors are approved).
3. Confirm equipment eligibility — federal 25C requires CEE Tier 2 or ENERGY STAR Most Efficient depending on category; utility programs often require ENERGY STAR.
4. Get pre-approval if your utility or HOMES requires it (many do — skipping pre-approval voids the rebate).
5. Install via a licensed contractor; collect AHRI certificate, manufacturer's certification statement, and itemized invoice.
6. Submit utility rebate within the post-install window (typically 30-90 days). File federal credits via IRS Form 5695 with your tax return for the year equipment was placed in service.
