What is the Inflation Reduction Act?
The Inflation Reduction Act, or IRA, is the largest clean energy legislation ever passed in the United States. Effective Jan 1, 2023, its tax credits and rebates make upgrades like solar panels, heating and cooling systems and energy efficient improvements accessible to more households. Contractors are essential in maximizing these benefits and helping more homeowners transition to cost-saving clean energy alternatives. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Rewiring America on an education coalition to spread the word on what the Inflation Reduction Act can offer.
