Resources for Electrifying Your Home
INFLATION REDUCTION ACT
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is America’s most significant investment in clean energy, featuring many incentives for an easy and financially smart transition to decarbonized living. The IRA provides substantial benefits like upfront discounts, tax credits, and low-cost financing, serving as a personal fund for every household to electrify their homes and vehicles over the next decade. Think of it as a free electric bank account tailored to your clean energy needs.
Now is the time to begin taking advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act’s many benefits! Point of sale rebates begin in 2024 while the tax incentives will be available for ten years. Rebates will be there only as long as the earmarked money lasts.
Successfully navigating the Inflation Reduction Act’s rules and regulations can be challenging.
Below are the best websites we’ve found, along with our favorite links, for general information about decarbonization, helpful tips on the ins-and-outs of IRA’s money saving benefits, and great tools to support us through our electrification transition. They also include information about state and local funds that can be stacked on top of IRA’s federal funding.
