When does the Inflation Reduction Act go into effect?The Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in August 2022. Part of the law authorized the IRA home energy rebates — the HEAR and HOMES rebates referenced above. States are currently applying to DOE for their funding. WI recently launched their HOMES rebate program, which includes electric cooking products, dishwashers, refrigerators, washers, and dryers — all of which have to be ENERGY STAR to qualify for rebates. HOMES rebates will require the help and support of contractors. HEAR allows for rebates for ENERGY STAR electric cooking products, including induction ranges and cooktops, and ENERGY STAR heat pump dryers, including combination washer heat pump dryers. States can choose whether or not to include these categories in their rebate programs.
