Arizona homeowners can save money with big rebates from the Inflation Reduction Act.

The US Department of Energy said Thursday that eligible Arizona homeowners can get up to $14,000 through home energy rebate programs.

The Biden-Harris administration signed the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. Arizona is only the second state in the US to launch the “Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates” part of the program.

It lets low- and middle-income households get rebates when they make improvements to the energy efficiency of their homes, according to the Department of Energy. The rebates cover up to 100% of costs for lower-income families, and up to 50% for moderate-income families. Head to this website to find out if you qualify.

Here’s a look at how much qualifying homeowners can get back:

$8,000 for an Energy Star-certified heat pump for space heating and cooling
$4,000 for an electrical panel
$2,500 for electrical wiring
$1,750 for an Energy Star-certified heat pump water heater
$1,600 for insulation
$840 for an Energy Star-certified electric heat pump clothes dryer and/or an electric stove, cooktop, range, or oven

US Department of Energy officials said one in 10 households are energy-burdened, and some of the lowest-income households in the US spend up to 30% of their income on energy bills.

Around $391 billion was included in the Inflation Reduction Act to support clean energy through energy efficiency improvements. Arizona was awarded $78,181,318 from the Department of Energy for the electrification and appliance rebates.
