If you’ve been hearing less about federal energy rebates lately, that’s because most federal home energy rebate programs have ended for 2026. That doesn’t mean savings are gone — it just means the focus has shifted.
For Oklahoma homeowners, especially in Oklahoma City, the best remaining opportunities now come from local utility rebate programs, not the federal government.
Two utilities in particular are offering meaningful incentives right now:
- OG&E (Oklahoma Gas & Electric)
- Oklahoma Natural Gas (ONG)
Below is a clear breakdown of what’s still available, what types of upgrades qualify, and where to find the official rebate details.
Why Utility Rebates Matter in 2026
Utility rebates exist to reduce energy demand and encourage homeowners to install more efficient equipment. Unlike federal programs, these rebates:
- Are utility-specific
- Often change year to year
- Are typically first-come, first-served
- Require proof of purchase and installation
If you’re planning an HVAC upgrade or insulation improvement anyway, these rebates can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost — but only if you know where to look.

OG&E offers multiple residential energy efficiency rebates for customers in Oklahoma. These programs are focused on electric efficiency, insulation, and major system replacements.

HVAC and Insulation: Why They’re Both Worth Considering
One common mistake homeowners make is upgrading only the HVAC system or only insulation — when the best results often come from addressing both.
- Insulation helps your home retain heated and cooled air
- HVAC upgrades improve how efficiently that air is produced and circulated
Utility rebate programs recognize this connection, which is why OG&E includes attic insulation and HVAC replacement incentives in the same program.
When combined, these upgrades can:
- Reduce monthly energy bills
- Improve indoor comfort
- Extend equipment lifespan
- Increase home efficiency without relying on federal incentives
Important Notes Before Applying
- Rebates are not guaranteed — funding is limited
- Applications typically require:
- Proof of purchase
- Installation details
- Utility account verification
- Programs can change mid-year
Always review the official utility guidelines before starting a project.
Final Thoughts for Oklahoma City Homeowners
While federal energy rebates are no longer available in 2026, Oklahoma energy rebates are still very much alive through OG&E and Oklahoma Natural Gas.
If you’re planning an HVAC upgrade, insulation improvement, or appliance replacement, these utility programs can still provide meaningful savings — as long as you follow the rules and apply correctly.
