Steps
Check DOE's Home Energy Rebates program status page to confirm whether the target state's HOMES program plan is approved and accepting contractor applications
Identify the specific state program administrator, since HOMES is state-administered under federal DOE guidance
Complete that state's contractor registration/participation agreement and any required program-specific training
Confirm whether the state's implementation uses the modeled-savings pathway (tied to standards like BPI-2400) or the measured-savings pathway, since documentation requirements differ
Track program-specific rebate calculation, reporting, and quality-assurance requirements before submitting a first project
Known gotchas
HOMES program launch timing and contractor requirements vary significantly by state; a requirement in one state's program is often not transferable to another
Confirm current program status directly with the state administrator or DOE's program page before advising clients, since rollout timelines have shifted since IRA passage
Contractor registration does not guarantee funding availability; some state programs pause enrollment or exhaust allocated rebate funds
