The Inflation Reduction Act provides a rebate program for homeowners who purchase certain energy-efficient appliances or other improvements, such as a heat pump water heater, a heat pump HVAC system, solar panels and the replacement of gas-fired appliances such as furnaces.

The Inflation Reduction Act itself is confusing, with the money being distributed by states, counties and local governments rather than under a single, uniform system. That means it can be tricky to figure out what rebates and discounts you qualify for, but there is a tool from the nonprofit Rewiring America that can help you determine what programs are available to you in your area.

To see what rebates and rebates you qualify for, you can enter your zip code, family size, household income, and property type, and the tool will sort through the numerous programs to find the one that’s right for you. You’ll be presented with a list of upgrades like boilers, solar panels, electric vehicles, and electrical panel wiring, and then you can choose the options you’d like to learn more about. The menu will give you a summary of what financing is available for your project and what type of rebate it is. For a more complete guide to each rebate or rebate, you can click on the “learn more” feature.

The Federal Department of Energy also has a section on Home Upgrades that guides homeowners through the process of applying for energy rebates. In addition to a search function that can be sorted by state, the website also provides a list of specific upgrade projects that you can search for eligibility. Since there is no single set of guidelines for who qualifies or what specific upgrades qualify, the website can help you sort out the details for your state and specific project.
