For Builders & Contractors

Building energy-efficient homes isn’t just a smart choice for homeowners, it’s good business.

AHFC is developing programs and rebates that are responsive to U.S. Department of Energy requirements but are specifically tailored to address Alaska’s unique needs and challenges.

By incorporating these energy-efficient solutions, you’re not only improving the homes you build but also giving homeowners the chance to save on energy costs while helping them qualify for these beneficial rebates.

New Home Construction Rebate: Accepting Applications

The New Home Construction Rebate is an initiative aimed at increasing Alaska’s housing inventory while supporting energy-efficient home construction. The rebate will be paid directly to the homeowner upon completion of construction and a successful application.
