Rebates for home electrification and efficiency

AI-assisted summary

Krishnamoorthi describes Inflation Reduction Act rebates for home electrification and energy-efficiency projects in Illinois. The High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate program offers low-income households—below 80% of area median income—100% of eligible project costs and moderate-income households—80% to 150%—50%, up to $14,000. The HOMES program is based on modeled or measured energy savings, with larger incentives for low-income households. A household may receive a rebate from either program, not both; combining one rebate with an efficiency tax credit was described as expected, subject to federal guidance.

Context: The page identifies Illinois EPA as the administrator and says rollout could take one to two years; rebate details and timing were pending. The page’s June 15, 2023 update is an in-office constituent resource, not a campaign statement.

AI-assisted summary

Krishnamoorthi highlights a residential tax credit covering 30% of qualifying costs for solar panels, solar water heaters, fuel-cell property, small wind turbines, geothermal heat pumps and battery storage. The credit has no annual or lifetime limit and applies at 30% from 2022 through 2032, then declines to 26% in 2033 and 22% in 2034. Developers in low-income or energy communities may qualify for additional bonuses, which homeowners may access through leases or community-solar subscriptions.

Context: The additional 10% or 20% bonuses are described as potentially available to developers, not as direct homeowner credits. The page presents the rules as of its June 15, 2023 update and is an in-office constituent resource.
