How to save on energy costs.

Our community demanded congressional action on the climate crisis. That’s why I was so proud to join my Democratic colleagues and President Biden to pass the groundbreaking Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the largest-ever investment in climate action.

The IRA is already helping the federal government build the renewable energy infrastructure we need to transition away from fossil fuels that speed up the warming of our planet. But that’s not all — it also created ways for your family to reduce your energy costs at home.

Winter is just around the corner, and so are the colder temperatures that mean turning up the heat and increasing the gas bill when so many families are already stretching their budgets as far as possible. That’s why I’m so excited to share these benefits with you. 

Available right now:

-30% back for the cost of many clean energy upgrades to your home, including solar panels, water heaters, and battery storage, no matter the price.

-Up to $1,200 to add insulation, install new exterior windows and doors, or other improvements that increase the energy efficiency of your home.

-Up to $2,000 for a new heat pump (which can provide efficient air conditioning and heating) as well as a heat-pump water heater.

-30% off the cost of installing a new electric vehicle charger if you live in a rural or underserved community.

Starting on January 1, up to $7,500 in savings will be available right at point of sale when you buy a new electric vehicle and up to $4,000 for a used one. You’ll be able to get these credits at your car dealership, which means the discount will come right off the sticker price when you buy your EV.

You can visit this site to see a full list of benefits and find out which are currently available to best help you and your household.

I’m proud of the progress that House Democrats have made together on climate, especially since the clean energy transition can help lower costs at a time families really need the breathing room. And don’t think Congress is done here — my Progressive Caucus colleagues and I will continue to push for transformative legislation to protect our planet and our people.

As your representative in Congress, this is the work that I’m committed to doing for you and your family. Write me back and let me know what you picked!
