Applications for the Indiana Energy Saver Program are NOW OPEN! Learn more and apply now at www.IndianaEnergySaver.com
Supported by $182 million in federal funding, the Indiana Energy Saver Program will reduce the upfront cost of eligible energy efficiency upgrades to assist Hoosiers in reducing their energy costs and enhancing home comfort.
Program Overview
The Indiana Energy Saver Program will provide cost savings through two program offerings: the Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) and the Home Appliance Rebates (HEAR). Both offerings are provided through a single application process to maximize the benefits to Hoosier households. Participants will receive the rebate as an upfront discount on the product and installation by a qualified contractor.
The Indiana Office of Energy Development announced the launch of the Indiana Energy Saver Program on May 14th, 2025.

Weatherization/Energy Conservation
Housed under the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority (IHCDA) The Weatherization Assistance Program provides energy conservation measures to reduce the utility bills of low-income Hoosiers across the state. The program offers consumers a permanent solution to reducing their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. More information about this program can be found on the IHCDA website.
Energy Assistance Program (EAP)
Also housed under the IHCDA, the Energy Assistance Program (EAP) can help low-income Hoosiers pay their heat and electric bills. EAP provides a one-time annual benefit that can assist you with the high cost of home energy and can help if you are disconnected or are about to get disconnected. More information on the EAP program can be found on the IHCDA website.
Utility Rebates and Energy Efficiency Programs
Indiana’s investor-owned electric utilities are required to file with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) a request for approval of an energy efficiency plan not less than one time every three years. These plans include residential, commercial, and industrial programs focused on reducing energy consumption through demand side management (DSM) practices.
