Each figure carries the condition Indiana Office of Energy Development 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 Indiana, or whether there is one at all. Indiana runs two tracks side by side. The appliance track is only for households under 150% of area median income, while the whole home efficiency track is open to every household but pays much less above 80% AMI.
The Home Appliance Rebate (HEAR) provides cost savings to low- and moderate-income households earning less than 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI) with eligible upgrades.Indiana Office of Energy Development, read September 23, 2026. Read it at the source

A utility programme is a different thing from a state one, with its own rules, its own contractor list and its own deadline, and in a handful of states it is worth more than the state programme it stands in for. 31 state offices publish a route like this, and on most of those pages it sits well below the announcement that brought the reader there.
Beside the state programme, the energy office points readers to their own utility's efficiency programmes and lists the six large Indiana utilities.

These are two separate programmes and conflating them is the commonest error on pages about this. A Indiana rebate is money off the job, applied for through Indiana Office of Energy Development 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.
Indiana Office of Energy Development is one of only 10 state offices that address on its own pages whether the two can be claimed together. Its sentence is below, exactly as written, because whether two kinds of money can be combined on one job is a tax question and the office’s own wording is the only safe answer to it.
Some residential tax credits are available for homeowners to obtain residential efficiency products and improvements. For example, qualifying home improvements made after December 31, 2021, may be eligible for these federal tax credits, including purchases of ENERGY STAR certified products and improvements to the building shell.Indiana Office of Energy Development, read September 23, 2026.

Indiana is in the smaller group. 13 of the fifty states are taking applications from homeowners, against 31 that have announced a programme and never opened it and 6 in some other state of suspension. An open programme can close: at least one state has reserved its funding, shut, and reopened more than once inside two years.
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.
Indiana read September 23, 2026 from Indiana Office of Energy Development’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.
