Live webinar: Sustainability + Tax Credits // March 30, 12-1 p.m.

Join us! LES' Marc will discuss our residential Sustainable Energy Program incentives and federal tax credits available, touch briefly on EV and solar credits, and fill us in on other future federal tax incentives and rebates.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provides new federal tax credits through 2032, lowering the cost of energy-efficient home upgrades by up to 30%. Home improvements such as installing heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, insulation, doors and windows, as well as electrical panel upgrades, home energy audits and more, are covered by the tax credits and can help customers save money on their energy bills.

In addition to the energy-efficiency credits, homeowners can also take advantage of the modified and extended Residential Clean Energy credit, providing 30% income tax credits for clean energy equipment, such as rooftop solar, wind energy, geothermal heat pumps and battery storage through 2032.
