MiHER for residents: how to get your rebate

The Michigan Home Energy Rebates (MiHER) Program will fund energy efficiency and electrification upgrades for approximately 15,000 Michigander homes, helping to reduce monthly utility costs, reduce energy use, and enhance comfort and indoor air quality. 

The amount of funding a home is eligible for varies depending on:

  • The household's income,
  • Identified energy efficiency upgrades for the home,
  • Estimated energy savings,
  • Rebate limits (established by U.S. Department of Energy and EGLE),
  • The selected upgrades being installed, and 
  • Total project cost.

How the MiHER process works

Michigan residents can follow the steps below to obtain a home energy rebate. We are currently accepting applications from low-to-moderate-income residents across the state.

If you have questions about the MiHER Program or the application process, please review our frequently asked questions or contact the MiHER support team at 855-510-7080 or MiEnergyRebates@CLEAResult.com for assistance.

Step 1: review eligibility

  • Rebate eligibility is based on household income and the energy upgrades identified for your home.
  • Households with incomes below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) may qualify for enhanced rebates.
  • You can check your household income level using the AMI calculator.

Step 2: submit your MiHER application

  • Applications are currently open to low- to moderate-income households only.
  • If you are unsure about any part of the application process, contact 855-510-7080 for assistance.

Step 3: choose an approved MiHER contractor

  • Once your application is accepted, you'll receive instructions on how to select a participating contractor.
  • You must select a contractor from the MiHER-approved directory.
  • If your preferred contractor isn’t listed, they can apply to join the program by visiting the Contractors page to learn more.

Step 4: schedule a home assessment

  • Your chosen contractor will assess your home to:
    • Identify eligible upgrades
    • Estimate the rebate amount and upgrades you qualify for

Step 5: complete the energy upgrades

  • The contractor will complete the approved energy efficiency upgrades.
  • For eligible households, up to 100% of the project costs may be covered under the rebate.

Step 6: contractor receives rebate

  • After the work is completed, the rebate is paid directly to the contractor — you don’t have to pay upfront for the covered rebate amount.
