Government Energy Efficiency Programs
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 aims to encourage Americans to become more energy efficient with tax credits, deductions and rebates. Homeowners, commercial customers, and homebuilders are eligibile.
ENERGY STAR®, administered by the EPA, is a voluntary labeling program created to make energy efficiency choices easier for consumers. The EPA sets energy efficiency standards and organizations that meet them can display the ENERGY STAR logo. The blue ENERGY STAR label provides credible and unbiased information that consumers and businesses have to rely on to make well-informed energy decisions.
