Make Your Home More Energy Efficient
In August 2022, the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit and the High Efficiency-Electric Home Rebate Program became law, both part of the landmark Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
To allow Americans to replace their old appliances at home with newer versions that are more environmentally friendly, that help cut energy costs by a lot. The Biden administration is giving rebates to communities around the country.

For more information and to understand how the IRA applies to your income bracket, consult the government’s official site, Rewiring America and The Switch is On, which also has an incentive calculator based on your zip code.
Moreover, The IRA allocates $4.275 billion to state energy offices to develop and administer a new high-efficiency electric home rebate program. An extra $225 million is obtainable for tribal governments. These budgets are reserved for households with a total income of 150 percent or less of their area’s median income (AMI). Also for Low-income households (LMI, less than 80 percent of AMI) are eligible to receive a rebate equal to 100 percent of the project cost.
Biden’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This program aims to lessen greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, affecting two million homes by replacing furnaces with heat pumps for instance, which would make the country less dependent on fossil fuels as well. The rebates for energy efficiency retrofits will range between $2,000 and $4,000, while multifamily buildings can reach rebates of up to $400,000. Money will also go directly to the states to help them provide these rebates. A home that reduced energy by 20% or more will receive up to $2,000, while those who save 35% or more can get up to $4,000.
