the keep wisconsin warm/cool fund
keeps the heat and power on for thousands of wisconsin families in crisis

 

 

In close collaboration with the Wisconsin Division of Energy, Housing and Community Resources (DEHCR) we are working together to bring the upcoming programs and benefits to so many low and fixed-income households struggling to pay for record increases in energy costs. We are anticipating an early start for those on fixed incomes during September. For all other non-elderly fixed-income households we are planning on accepting applications no later than October 1. Our staff will begin scheduling in-person applications or establish October dates for on-demand or online applications for Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) assistance. Should there be any changes that provide for non-fixed income households prior to October 1 we will continue to reach out to those in need.

We are now accepting applications for the 2024-2025 Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance program (WHEAP).

The 2024-2025 Gross Income Guidelines have increased, so many who were slightly above the previous guidelines may now apply.

IRA Home Energy Rebates are rolling out!

As part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Wisconsin has been allocated $149 million for Home Energy Rebates. Focus on Energy was chosen by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin to deliver the IRA Home Energy Rebate Programs.

Take advantage of rebates to support your home energy project such as adding insulation and efficient heating and cooling equipment. Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) are NOW AVAILABLE. 

HOMES offers rebates for energy-saving home improvements, including insulation and efficient heating/cooling equipment. Participants need a home energy assessment to identify eligible upgrades. Rebate amounts are based on a household’s income level and predicted energy savings from recommended upgrades. Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) will be launched soon.
