Families could combine federal rebates for home energy upgrades, with bonus rebates for older homes.
This bill would make it easier for working families, renters, and owners of older homes to get help paying for energy-efficient upgrades. It would let people combine different federal rebates and create a new bonus rebate for electric upgrades in homes built before 1970. This could help more people afford to make their homes more energy efficient.
Today, federal law prohibits combining certain home energy-efficiency rebates with other federal grants. This bill would remove that prohibition, allowing people to combine these rebates. It would also create a new bonus rebate of up to 20 percent of the initial rebate for high-efficiency electric home upgrades in homes built before January 1, 1970, which is not currently available.
