As longtime energy efficiency specialists, Green Homeowners United is working to help residents find out how to benefit from the new Inflation Reduction Act's new incentives to upgrade our homes to be green! Answer a few questions to find out how it (and we!) can help your home.

Following a recent series of articles printed across the state which highlighted how Green Homeowners United is helping people address climate change at home, we need to clarify where we are able to help residents with energy assessments and upgrade services. At this time, we can only help in the following areas:

Because every building can differ so much, and because some of these rules are so new, we will need to ask a few more questions verbally with you to be able to best help! The following questions are only for residential buildings now. Thanks!

One of the most energy saving improvements, dollar for dollar. Insulating attics, walls, basements and occasionally floors, as well as "sealing" them to reduce air leaks, can save energy throughout the year.

High efficiency versions of air conditioners can do more than cool the home, they can heat it too to reduce natural gas use. The Inflation Reduction Act has a lot of incentives to get a heat pump!

Based on your answer, you should be eligible for an instant rebate that immediately reduces the bill for a new heat pump by EITHER $8,000 or 50% of the total bill, whichever is less. AND you can qualify for an approximately $2,000 federal tax credit for it!

Based on your answer, you should be eligible for an instant rebate that immediately reduces the bill for a new heat pump by $8,000 off the total bill, meaning it could very well cost you $0! AND you can qualify for an approximately $2,000 federal tax credit for it!

Based on your answer, you should be eligible for an instant rebate that immediately reduces the bill for a new heat pump by ~$1,000 off the total bill AND you can qualify for an approximately $2,000 federal tax credit for it!

Energy-star windows can reduce air leaks and heat transfer through double or triple pane windows thanks to a "Low-E" coating and gas in between the panes of glass.

High-efficiency furnaces or boilers can reduce your gas bills as well as your electric with better fans/pumps.

One of the new incentives is for "heat pump water heaters" (HPWH). HPWHs don't use natural gas, and are more efficient. They can also help dehumidify the room they are in too!

Based on your answer, you should be eligible for an instant rebate that immediately reduces the bill for a new heat pump water heater by EITHER $1,750 or 50% of the total bill, whichever is less. AND you can qualify for an up to $2,000 federal tax credit for it!

The Inflation Reduction Act has renewed the federal tax credit back to 30% of the cost of the solar panel installation. The law can also provide $2,000 - $8,000 in rebates if you get an energy assessment beforehand.

The Inflation Reduction Act has a lot of incentives available to homes that receive an energy assessment. You can qualify for a $150 federal tax credit for getting an assessment, and an energy assessment can unlock $2,000 to $8,000 off of home upgrades (depending on income)

If the energy assessment shows you how to reduce your utility bills by 20% or more, you'll immediately receive $2,000 in direct funds towards installing those improvements. If shown how to reduce by 35% or more, you'll immediately receive $4,000 instead!

If the energy assessment shows you how to reduce your utility bills by 20% or more, you'll immediately receive $4,000 in direct funds towards installing those improvements. If shown how to reduce by 35% or more, you'll immediately receive $8,000 instead!

The wording of the Inflation Reduction Act is that if the building is a multi-family building, the above instant rebates following an energy assessment are multiplied by the number of units in it! (i.e. a 5 unit building could get a maximum of $40,000 in rebates!)
