$Federal tax credits: what changed for 2026
There is no federal tax credit for refrigerators — and there never was. The Inflation Reduction Act's two home-energy credits (25C and 25D) covered heat pumps, water heaters, insulation, solar, and similar upgrades — not refrigerators or freezers. As of 2026 both credits have also ended entirely.
§25C · Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit
Covered building-envelope and heating/cooling upgrades. Terminated for any property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Refrigerators were never on its covered-property list.
IRS: Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit§25D · Residential Clean Energy Credit
Covered solar, wind, geothermal, and battery storage. Terminated for any expenditures made after December 31, 2025. It never applied to appliances like refrigerators either.
IRS: Residential Clean Energy CreditWhat this does and doesn't change
- Unaffected: the utility rebates on this page. Purchase and recycling rebates are administered by your utility or state, not the IRS, and are independent of 25C/25D.
- Changed: if a refrigerator page anywhere tells you to claim a federal “IRA appliance tax credit,” it is wrong on two counts — refrigerators were never eligible, and the credits have now ended.
- Still worth checking: state Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) programs, tracked state-by-state below — these are separate from the federal tax credits.
Termination dates per IRS Fact Sheet FS-2025-05 (modifications under Public Law 119-21, the July 2025 budget law). Last verified 2026-07-10.
The May 2026 DOE rebate rewrite — what changed
On May 29, 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy issued Program Notice 26-2, revising the federally funded, state-run Home Energy Rebates program (the one commonly called HEAR). Here is what actually changed — and, just as important, what it does not change for refrigerator shoppers.
The program was renamed
DOE changed the program name from “Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates” back to “High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebates (HEEHR)” to match the statutory name in IRA §50122. If a page still calls it HEAR, it predates the May 2026 notice.
Fuel-switching rebates ended
HEEHR rebates can no longer fund replacing a non-electric appliance with an electric one. They now cover upgrading from existing electric equipment to more efficient electric equipment only (new construction still qualifies).
Insulation-first, and ENERGY STAR / consumer rules changed
Homes must generally use rebates for insulation and air sealing before heating/cooling upgrades. The Consumer Protection Plan was replaced with a Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Mitigation Plan, and the Justice40 low-income allocation and DEI requirements were removed.
More retail and DIY pathways
DOE broadened point-of-sale options (retail, e-commerce, direct-to-consumer, marketplace), allowed most DIY retail purchases (except HVAC), and permitted mail-in rebates. Launched state programs have three months to conform.
What this means for refrigerator buyers
Nothing changes for refrigerators. HEEHR's covered measures are heat pumps, heat-pump water heaters and dryers, electric stoves/cooktops/ovens, electrical-panel and wiring upgrades, and insulation — refrigerators were never on the list, before or after this rewrite. The rewrite tightened fuel-switching rules for those covered products; it does not create, remove, or change any refrigerator rebate. The utility rebates on this page are administered separately and are unaffected.

State HEAR rebate tracker
HEAR — the federal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program — is run state by state, and its federal covered-product list does not generally include refrigerators. We track each jurisdiction’s program status and, where a state’s own documents address it, whether refrigerators qualify. Every row shows when we last checked the official source; unverified jurisdictions are labeled as such rather than guessed.
