Methodology
This validation site models rebate search intent first, then points users to official verification sources. The goal is to learn which pages deserve deeper data enrichment.
What is modeled
- HEAR national maximum rebate caps and income-tier cost-share rules.
- HOMES whole-home efficiency as a verification path rather than a fixed estimate.
- 2026 tax-credit timing notes based on current IRS guidance.
- Utility-specific pages based on known service areas and official rebate links.
- State page differentiation using climate, likely upgrade sequence, and utility availability.
What must be verified
- State program launch status and remaining funding.
- Household income qualification and area median income thresholds.
- Approved product lists, contractor rules, and pre-approval requirements.
- Utility territory and rate-plan impacts.
- Tax-credit eligibility and placed-in-service dates.
