Rewiring America Wants To Educate Consumers About The Energy Benefits of Electricity Available In The Inflation Reduction Act

Rewiring America estimates that the average household qualifies for $10,600 in IRA benefits to electrify their lives. The problem is that most families don’t know about them.

When a family’s gas furnace breaks down, they’ll be faced with a choice to replace that system, Jammal said: stick with fossil gas or go with an electric heat pump? That decision ​“largely depends on…the contractor understanding those products and the incentives attached to them,” Jammal said. But it also hinges on the consumer ​“asking for them.”

Another ​“great tool” that Jammal said companies can draw on is Rewiring America’s savings calculator. Families can enter information into the calculator about where they live and their household income to see what federal electrification and efficiency incentives they qualify for.
