What Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Florida Energy Saver Program) has actually published, what it points homeowners at meanwhile, and which states are open today.
Florida has announced Florida Energy Saver Program: High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebates (HEEHR) and Home Owner Managing Energy Savings (HOMES) through Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Florida Energy Saver Program) and has not opened it for applications. That is the most common position in the country: 31 of 50 states are in it, against 13 that are taking applications.

Each figure carries the condition Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Florida Energy Saver Program) attached to it, and the condition is the half that decides whether the figure applies to a particular house. Where the office wrote a sentence beside the number, that sentence is reproduced whole and linked to the page it was read from, because a paraphrase of an eligibility rule is a different statement than the rule.

Income and the contractor list are where the largest number of applications stop, and both are usually discovered late. Nationally 34 states publish an income rule and 28 of those tier the award by it, meaning income decides how much is paid rather than only whether anything is; 23 require the work to go through a contractor the programme has approved, which generally excludes work a homeowner does themselves.
Income decides the size of the award in Florida, or whether there is one at all. The appliance programme is closed above 150% of area median income, and both programmes pay the full project cost below 80% and half of it above.
Please note, households making more than 150% of Area Median Income (AMI) will not be eligible for this program.Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Florida Energy Saver Program), read September 23, 2026. Read it at the source
The work has to go through a contractor the programme has approved. the rebate arrives as a discount applied by a qualified contractor rather than as a payment to the household
Participants will receive the rebate in the form of a discount on the eligible product and installation by a qualified contractor.Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Florida Energy Saver Program), read September 23, 2026
These are two separate programmes and conflating them is the commonest error on pages about this. A Florida rebate is money off the job, applied for through Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Florida Energy Saver Program) under its own rules. The federal credit is money off a tax bill, claimed when filing, with no application and no approval step. Different timing, different paperwork, and qualifying for one says nothing about qualifying for the other.
Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Florida Energy Saver Program) does not address on its own pages whether the two can be claimed on one job. Only 10 state offices do, so the silence is normal rather than a signal either way.
Florida is in the larger group. Only 13 of the fifty states are taking applications from homeowners, and 31 have announced a programme without opening it, which is the commonest position in the country. The states that are open are Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin.
Across the country 155 separate dollar figures are printed and 21 states print none at all. The spread has little to do with climate: it tracks how each state chose to divide a federal allocation between a small number of large whole home awards and a large number of small per appliance ones.
Florida read September 23, 2026 from Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Florida Energy Saver Program)’s own pages, linked beside every figure and every rule. A programme can open, reserve its funding and stop taking applications inside a single season, so the office page linked above is what governs on the day. Every state is on the home energy rebates hub.
