With the arrival of 2023, federal income tax credits for energy efficient home improvements started and will be available through 2032. Under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, a wide selection of ENERGY STAR certified equipment is eligible for the tax credits. These available credits will help cut thousands of dollars off the price tag of major home improvement projects over the next 10 years for homeowners in Arizona and around the country.
Details on the HEEHRP
High-efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program (HEEHRP) is a program the U.S. government has signed into law to help homeowners save on HVAC costs. The federal government has appropriated $4.5 billion in funds for the program and will distribute them to state energy offices with the specific dates still to be determined.
HEEHRP offers HVAC rebates of up to $14,000 per household, including:
- Up to $1,600 for home insulation and sealing.

- Up to $4,000 for electrical panel upgrades.

- For households within 80 percent to 150 percent of area median income, 50 percent of the system purchase is eligible for the rebate.
