Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Incentives
With renewed tax credits and rebates under the Inflation Reduction Act, you can receive money back just for installing a new energy-efficient system! This billion-dollar climate and health care bill aims to reduce emissions, invest in climate protection, and offer eligible homeowners money-saving incentives for "greener" home appliances and systems. If you're looking to upgrade your HVAC system, now's the time to get started.
