Texas headline: Up to $4,000 from HEEHRA plus $200-$1,500 from utility programs. Combined $1,500-$5,000 typical for mid-income.
Active programs
Texas HEEHRA caps $8,000 (≤80% AMI), $4,000 (80-150% AMI).1
Utility rebates vary widely by territory. Major Texas utilities:
- Oncor (north Texas) - efficiency program rebates
- CenterPoint (Houston area) - heat pump conversion incentives
- AEP Texas - heat pump rebates
- TXU and Reliant retail providers - some offer rebates
Programs are smaller than in Northeast/West Coast states because Texas has cheap natural gas and limited state-level energy efficiency mandates.
Realistic example
Houston home heat pump install:
- Install: $11,000
- CenterPoint conversion incentive: $750
- HEEHRA at 80-150% AMI: $4,000
- Net: $6,250
