Rebates and tax credits in Wyoming

Money toward an HRV or ERV

Programs that pay toward the unit itself. Some take the money off at the distributor, so ask whether an installer’s price already includes it.

We didn’t find a program in Wyoming that names HRVs or ERVs. Your electric and gas utilities are still worth asking: search “[utility] HRV rebate” and “[utility] ERV rebate”.

Ventilation rebates that don’t name HRVs or ERVs

Usually ENERGY STAR bath or kitchen fans. Ask the program whether a balanced system qualifies before counting on it.

  Up to $10

  Listed in the 2024-2026 Wyoming efficiency plan. Detailed guidelines are kept on the company website. The plan lists no HRV, ERV or whole-house fan measures.

  Ventilation, not HRVs or ERVs by nameProgram page: Updated October 24, 2025

Federal home energy rebates

Federal money that Wyoming runs. HEAR has a category for “insulation, air sealing, and ventilation” worth up to $1,600 for households under 150% of area median income; each state decides what counts as ventilation. ENERGY STAR’s table for HEAR says this category requires ENERGY STAR certification, and ENERGY STAR’s U.S. criteria for ventilation cover fans, not HRVs or ERVs, so ask the program whether an HRV or ERV counts before relying on it. HOMES pays toward whole-home upgrades modeled to save energy.

Air sealing and insulation

These programs are more common than ventilation rebates, and sealing a house is often what makes it need planned fresh air. If a program is sealing yours, ask whether it requires ventilation afterward and whether it pays for it.

• Wattsmart Homes: insulation, air sealing, duct sealing and windows

  Rocky Mountain Power · Rocky Mountain Power residential customers in Wyoming

  Plan maximums: attic or ceiling insulation $0.50 per sq ft; wall insulation $0.75 per sq ft; floor insulation $0.50 per sq ft; air sealing $0.30 per sq ft; duct sealing up to $800; windows $40 per window (single-family).

  These are "up to" amounts in the 2024-2026 plan; the plan says offerings may change and guidelines are on the company website. Rocky Mountain Power's own page describes instant discounts on insulation and air sealing in Wyoming without amounts.

• Residential energy efficiency rebates (not available now)

  Black Hills Energy · Black Hills Energy customers in Wyoming

  None available now

  Black Hills Energy says efficiency rebates will not be available while it redesigns the program; it asked the Wyoming Public Service Commission to dismiss its 2026 plans for its Wyoming electric and gas utilities and plans to refile. Its 2024 gas form had paid for insulation and air sealing in gas-heated homes after an energy evaluation.

  Doesn’t mention ventilation

State tax credits

We didn’t find a Wyoming tax credit for ventilation, air sealing or insulation, and couldn’t confirm there is none.

Low-income help

The federal Weatherization Assistance Program can pay for air sealing, insulation and, where needed, ventilation at no cost to households that qualify by income. In Wyoming it’s run by Wyoming Department of Family Services (joint application with LIEAP, accepted online year-round; income up to 200% of the federal poverty level).

Before you sign

1. Don’t start work yet. Many programs need pre-approval, a participating contractor or a test first, and work begun early often can’t qualify.
2. Write down your electric and gas utilities. Rebates usually follow the utility, not the town.
3. Read the conditions: a listed contractor, a qualifying model, your heating fuel, income limits, and install and claim deadlines.
4. Ask each installer whether any discount is already in their price, and who files the paperwork.
5. Get it in writing: each rebate, who applies for it, and what happens to the price if it’s denied.

Worth knowing

• Rocky Mountain Power's Wyoming plan pays toward a bathroom exhaust fan (up to $10), which is why the Wattsmart Homes entry says it pays for ventilation; it does not pay for HRVs or ERVs. (s37)
• Wyoming's state weatherization program covers air sealing and insulation; its page does not mention ventilation. (s40)
