""There are a slew of incentives that are available to households ... but the clock is ticking and families need to act now to claim those incentives before they disappear," said Ari Matusiak, Rewiring America's chief executive. "There are incentives for upgrades in people's homes that can save them money on their energy bills - which is a top-of-mind concern for many people - but also create healthier and more comfortable homes along the way.""
""The Trump administration has described the credits and incentives as ideologically motivated boondoggles that limit consumer choice and drive up costs. But the "kitchen table decisions" that people make about what kind of car to drive, how to cook their meals, how to heat and cool their homes, and how to dry their clothes represent about a billion appliances and machines across the United States. These are responsible for 42% of energy-related emissions, Matusiak said.""
Nearly a dozen federal rebates and tax credits for electric vehicles, heat pumps, home weatherization, electric panel upgrades, battery storage, geothermal heating, EV chargers and other electrification measures are being eliminated, with many disappearing before year-end. The changing incentive landscape is creating consumer confusion and deadlines for claiming benefits. Rewiring America provides free sessions with trained electricity coaches to help households identify and claim eligible federal energy incentives before they expire. Household decisions about vehicles, cooking, heating, cooling and drying affect roughly a billion appliances and machines and account for about 42% of energy-related emissions. In 2023, 3.4 million households used $8 billion in energy tax credits.
