One program serves Central Ohio addresses: The Energy Cooperative.
That is the honest count, not a shortlist we trimmed. Below is what it pays, what it asks of the equipment, and how you claim it. The rest of Ohio is listed underneath so you can see the whole picture, but only the program above is one you can count on at this address. Ask the program or your installer to confirm eligibility and amounts for your address.

How current this is
Program terms checked 2026-10-14. Programs change their terms, their budgets run out, and some close mid-year. Every amount here is an estimate until it is checked for the address.
Rebate amounts are estimates and subject to change.
Eligibility varies by income, equipment efficiency, utility territory, and program funding availability.
The federal HEAR rebate was renamed High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebates on May 29, 2026, and its rules were changed (https://www.energy.gov/documents/program-notice-26-2, fetched 2026-10-14). States run it, and many have not opened. Check your state energy office for current rebates.
After-install rebates are claimed by the homeowner after installation and are not guaranteed at the point of sale.
