One program serves Greater Houston addresses: CenterPoint Energy.
That is the honest count, not a shortlist we trimmed. CenterPoint Energy money is applied at the point of sale, rather than something you chase afterwards. The rest of Texas is listed underneath for context. 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.
