Save Energy. Cut Costs.

Empowering Hoosiers to Enhance Home Energy Efficiency

Hoosiers are interested in how they can save energy and cut costs now more than ever. To meet this growing need, the Indiana Energy Saver Program will assist Hoosiers in reducing their energy costs and improving home comfort through energy efficiency upgrades. With the support of roughly $182 million in federal funding, Indiana will provide two rebate offerings through a single application process to maximize the benefits to Hoosier households. Through this program, participants will receive the rebate in the form of a discount on the eligible products and installation completed by a qualified contractor. Learn more about each rebate offering below.

  • ENERGY STAR-certified heating and cooling
  • ENERGY STAR-certified water heaters
  • Insulation
  • Air sealing
  • Duct sealing
  • Appliances
