WSJ Your Money Briefing · Rebates Could Save Homeowners Thousands on Energy-Efficient Upgrades · 24 Aug 2023 podcast

So yeah, the savings really adds up. voice-verified

So it's not just the upfront savings. voice-verified

The goal is to make your home more comfortable and more energy efficient. voice-verified

And you're saving going forward on your running costs for the home. voice-verified

But experts also say that these improvements add value to your house, you know, eventually for resale. voice-verified

So that's a really good first step. voice-verified

And the laws put in the incentive $150 tax credit for homeowners to do a home energy audit. voice-verified

And it's actually required for the whole house retrofit. voice-verified

So the Internal Revenue Service just put out guidance on that, saying that if you're doing it this year, you can go ahead. voice-verified

But by next year, they're going to have certain certification standards for the contractors doing these home energy audits. voice-verified

Typically, experts say that it's best to start with the energy efficiency improvements, like making sure you're well insulated and have good windows and doors, and then turning to the HVAC system. voice-verified

But obviously, if your air condition is broken, you have to do it right away. voice-verified

So at that point, dive in, try and look at the whole house picture, but make sure you're getting the right energy efficient equipment. voice-verified

There are these new free apps. voice-verified

One that I really liked is called Pearl Certification, and they have something called the Green Door app. voice-verified

So you can find it either on their website or on your phone, and it guides you through these high-performance renovations, everything from picking a voice-verified

contractor to searching for rebates. voice-verified

And then there's another one at Rewiring America and they have it pegged as an Inflation Reduction Act calculator. voice-verified

You can plug in your family income and zip code and then that gives you a list of what rebates and tax credits are available. voice-verified

So the good thing is the law made these good for 10 years through 2032. voice-verified
