What’s to Come With Rebates….

High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate (HEEHRA)

To help low- and middle-income homeowners save on energy-efficient upgrades, the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate program provides instant discounts at the point of sale. Through this program, eligible households can save up to $14,000 on upgrades, with the rebate covering the full cost of electrification for low-income households and 50% of the cost for moderate-income households, including equipment and professional installation. To qualify for this program, households must have an income below 150% of the area median. This program provides an excellent opportunity for eligible homeowners to make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes while saving money.

The HEEHRA and HOMES rebate is not available right now, but rebate programs will start sometime at the end of 2023 or beginning of 2024 through your State Energy Offices. The timing of these depends on your state of residence and on the Department of Energy guidance, so be sure to check with Academy Air to see if rebates are available when you’re ready to purchase.

A tax credit is money that will be given back to customers when they file their taxes. Families can earn up to $3200 in tax credits with the 25C tax credit every year. Conversely, a rebate is an off-the-top discount at point of sale and will provide customers with upfront savings. Rebates will not be available until end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024. Contact Academy Air  to stay updated on the latest news on when rebates will be available in St. Louis, Missouri.

Whole Home Energy Reduction Rebate Program (HOMES)

To encourage energy conservation, the HOMES rebate program offers reimbursement to homeowners who make whole-house energy improvements. Eligible households can receive $2000-$8000 in rebates, depending on the amount of energy saved. Low- and middle-income households can receive $4000-$8000 or 80% of project costs, while high-income households can receive $2000-$4000 or 50% of project costs, for energy savings of 20%-35% or more. The rebates are based on energy savings performance, measured by a threshold of either 20% modeled savings (pre-upgrade) or 15% measured savings (post-upgrade), with larger rebates for greater energy savings. Low- to moderate-income households can qualify for up to $8000 in rebates and 80% of project costs. The HOMES rebate program is open to all households, but low- and middle-income households may receive more significant cashback. This program offers an excellent opportunity for homeowners to save energy and reduce their expenses.

The HEEHRA and HOMES rebate is not available right now, but rebate programs will start sometime at the end of 2023 or beginning of 2024 through your State Energy Offices.
