Energy rebates in this region are run state by state and, inside a state, utility by utility. There is no single Northeast program to apply to, so the place to start is the state the work is being done in. Every program on these pages is recorded against the administrator’s own published page and links straight back to it.

Most of what is listed on these pages will not apply at your address, and which utility serves you decides much of that. The rebate finder narrows the list by ZIP code and utility before you start reading.
Before you apply
Two things decide more applications in this region than the program rules do: which utility actually serves the address, and whether the work can start before the paperwork clears. Both are set out in how energy rebates work — the territory traps, what you are replacing, and the pre-approval sequence commercial projects have to follow before the purchase order goes out.
How these pages are maintained
Each program is recorded from the administrator’s own publication and carries a link back to it. Where we hold a check date for a program, the card shows that too; some cards do not carry one. Programs in this region open, pause, close and run out of funds without notice, and amounts and equipment requirements change within a program year, so confirm current status, amounts and eligibility with the administrator before you spend money or sign anything.
Treat what you read here as the starting point for a conversation with the administrator, not as the administrator’s current offer. We are a publisher, not an administrator: we do not decide eligibility, process applications or pay anything, and listing a program is not a recommendation of it or of any contractor. Nothing on this site is tax, legal or financial advice.
Several programs in every one of these states are income-qualified. Each administrator sets its own limit and its own basis for measuring it, so a determination from one program does not carry to the next, even inside the same state. We do not calculate a limit for you; the administrator’s own published figure is the only one that counts. If what you need is help with energy costs rather than with equipment, our energy assistance page is the explainer for how that kind of help works.
Federal tax incentives are not covered on this page: take your own tax position to a qualified tax professional, read the current rules at IRS.gov, and see our Federal Incentives page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a single Northeast or New England energy rebate program?
No. Each program on these pages has its own administrator, and they are not all the same kind of organization: state agencies, utilities, municipal utilities, non-profits and appointed implementers all run programs in this region. Each administrator sets its own eligibility, amounts and deadlines. The states coordinate on policy in places, but you apply state by state and administrator by administrator. Start with your own state’s page above, then confirm which utility serves the address.
I live in one state and the project is in another. Which state’s page applies?
Start with the state where the work is being done. For utility and state rebate programs the administrator usually works from the service address on the utility account at that property rather than from your mailing address or where a business is registered. Where you live can still count: income-qualified programs turn on the household occupying the property, and some state tax items follow the taxpayer. The administrator decides which test applies to your case, so ask before you file.
Can I combine a state program with a utility rebate?
Sometimes, and it has to be checked program by program. Combining them is common in this region, but real exclusions exist: some state programs name specific utility programs as duplicative, and some income-qualified projects are routed to one administrator instead of another. Ask each administrator, in writing, whether the other program you are counting on is permitted alongside theirs, before you apply to either and before any of it goes into a budget.
How current is this?
Every program card on the state pages links to the administrator’s own published page, and most of them also show the date we last checked that program against it. Some carry no date, so where one is missing, work from the administrator’s page rather than from ours. We re-check on a cycle rather than continuously, so a program can change between our check and your reading. Confirm with the administrator before you rely on it.
