The Inflation Reduction Act could lead to homeowners getting up to $14,000 for energy efficiency improvements. At Heating + Air Paramedics we want to help you understand what the Inflation Reduction Act can do for homeowners in your area and how we can help. The IRA is packed with incentives for homeowners to upgrade to energy-efficient appliances, including installing high-efficiency cooling, heating, and water-heating equipment. Some of the IRA’s most notable credits and rebates are offered for heat pumps. A heat pump is a high-efficiency system that can heat and cool your home in place of a traditional air conditioner or furnace.

IRA rebates are offered for new technology, insulating, and sealing a home. The IRA states that if you have a household income less than 80 percent of your state’s median household income, your household is eligible for all the rebates available. If your household income is 80 percent to 150 percent, your home is eligible for 50 percent of the rebates. Some households can get back up to $8,000 for a heat pump, $840 for an electric oven, and $1,750 for a heat pump water heater. Simple changes like upgrading to a heat pump from a gas furnace may qualify you for these IRA rebates. Tax credits go towards 30 percent of the total cost of a heat pump, including labor, up to $2,000. The IRA rebates extend through the end of 2032.

The IRA also includes an additional up to $1,200 in total tax credits per year on expenditures towards specific efficiency upgrades that include heat pumps. Some of these upgrades include:

• Air Sealing Systems of Materials - $600 to improve your home's energy efficiency
• Home Energy Audit - $150 to determine additional ways to improve your home's energy efficiency
• Upgrading Electrical Supply - $600 to upgrade your electrical supply for energy-efficient appliances

The IRA projects a 42% carbon emission reduction by 2050. An energy-efficient home saves money and helps avoid the worst of climate change. Upgrading from fossil fuel-burning appliances to electrical appliances boosts energy efficiency and saves money over time. Reducing the fossil fuel usage in your home helps reduce overall fossil fuel consumption, helping to fight climate change.
