Os descontos de eficiência doméstica podem estar disponíveis em breve - se os estados assinarem
Consumers may soon be able to access $14,000 or more of federal rebates for making energy-efficient upgrades to their home. But just how soon will vary by state — and some may opt not to make the funds available at all. The rebates are part of the Inflation Reduction Act, which earmarked $369 billion in spending for policies to fight climate change, amounting to the biggest piece of climate legislation in U.S. history. President Joe Biden signed the measure into law in August 2022. It offers $8.8 billion for two types of rebates, via the Home Efficiency Rebates Program (which offers up to $8,000) and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates Program (up to $14,000). In essence, they are consumer discounts to cover the partial,or in some cases full, cost of home efficiency projects like installing insulation or an electric heat pump or buying electric Energy Star appliances. The rebates are generally designed to be delivered at the point of sale, from a retailer or contractor. Their value varies depending on factors like project expense, household income and total energy savings. “It‘s a first-of-its-kind program,” said Kara Saul Rinaldi, CEO and founder of AnnDyl Policy Group. “We’ve never had federal rebates like them before.” Florida doesnt plan
