Inflation Reduction Act Energy Rebates and Incentives

2023 marks the rollout of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits to individuals and businesses trying to reduce their energy consumption and transition to renewable energy.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a historic 10-year plan that includes energy rebates and tax credits to help consumers save money on energy bills while benefiting the environment through energy efficiency upgrades, electrifying their homes, adopting solar and batteries, or purchasing an electric vehicle.

Some at-home items to evaluate or upgrade include:
