Multi-Family Rebates

We are proud to participate in GEFA’s Home Efficiency Rebates (GHER) Multi Family Program, helping property owners improve energy efficiency across multi-family buildings. Our team works with certified auditors and contractors to identify qualifying upgrades such as insulation, air sealing, and HVAC improvements and manage the entire rebate process to maximize energy savings and lower utility costs for residents.

Eligibility

The program is open to property owners, developers, property managers, and contractors associated with multifamily residential buildings (two or more dwelling units).

For Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) both low/moderate‑income multifamily buildings (with at least 50% of units occupied by households at or below certain income thresholds) and non‑income qualifying multifamily buildings may participate.

For Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR), to qualify, at least 50% of the building’s households must earn below 150% of the Area Median Income per county limits.

Projects must be completed by a program‑approved contractor to qualify for rebates — for both HER and HEAR paths.

Why This Matters for Property Owners & Managers

Participating in GEFA’s multifamily rebate programs offers a strategic opportunity to lower project costs, increase property value, and enhance resident comfort and satisfaction. By leveraging rebates for insulation, HVAC upgrades, heat pumps, and more, you reduce energy demand which often leads to lower utility costs, improved comfort, and higher tenant retention.

As an experienced contractor familiar with GEFA requirements, we can manage the entire process for you, from initial building‑wide assessment and rebate application to installation and documentation to ensure you get maximum rebate benefits while delivering superior upgrades for your properties

  • Determining eligibility is easy — just contact us. We work with you and the GEFA program team to review your building details, verify income requirements (if applicable), and prepare the information needed for a pre-approval inspection. Once the pre-approval request is submitted, GEFA will review the application and notify us of your building’s eligibility status and the rebate amounts available for your project. From start to finish, we help guide and support you through every step.

  • Multifamily buildings may qualify for a wide range of energy-efficiency and electrification upgrades, including insulation, air sealing, duct sealing, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, ventilation improvements, electric panel upgrades, and high-efficiency electric appliances. Eligible measures depend on whether your project falls under the HER or HEAR path, as well as the income mix of the residents. We help evaluate your property and identify which upgrades offer the most rebate value and long-term performance benefits.

  • Once eligibility is confirmed, we help coordinate the required energy assessment, assist with assembling the project proposal, and support you through the GEFA submission process. After approval, our team completes the improvements to program standards and helps you track and submit all required documentation. Throughout the entire process, we serve as your partner — helping ensure your property receives every applicable rebate while keeping the administrative workload manageable for your team.
