How does it work?

Homeowners across the U.S. can now take advantage of federal tax credits for energy-efficient home improvements based on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. These tax credits are designed to help reduce the cost of upgrading to more energy-efficient systems, like heat pumps, water heaters, insulation, and more. You recieve this tax credit at the time of filing your federal tax credit with our documentation and guides (for UniColorado customers).

Where are Inflation Reduction Act Rebates?

For Colorado homeowners, the IRA rebates will be disbursed using the following programs:

HEAR Program: Initially available to income-qualified households through the Colorado Weatherization Assistance Program starting October 30, 2024, with a full rollout planned for Spring 2025.
HOMES Program: Scheduled for launch in Spring 2025, with eligibility criteria based on energy savings & income.

What are the rules?

Primary Residence Requirement: The tax credits apply only to installations in your primary residence in the United States.
Eligible Products: The equipment must meet specific efficiency criteria outlined by ENERGY STAR and the IRS. For example, heat pumps must achieve the highest efficiency levels defined by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE).
Installation Standards: Products must be installed professionally to ensure proper function and compliance with guidelines.
Documentation: Maintain proof of purchase and installation, including receipts and manufacturer certifications. This documentation is critical when filing for your tax credits.
Annual Credit Limits: Credits are capped annually, so plan upgrades accordingly to stay within limits and optimize your savings.
