Who is eligible for these rebates?
According to Blake, to be eligible for these rebates, an applicant must earn an income of 80% to 150% or lower of the median income of their area. If the income is between 80% to 150%, only 50% of the cost will be covered by the rebates. However, if the percentage is lower, the rebates will cover the cost entirely. However, there will be a limit of $14,000 per household.
Furthermore, if a household’s switch decreases energy use by 20%, the household will be eligible for $2,000. Those who decrease their energy by 35% or more will receive $4,000. The rebate covers items such as panel upgrades, heat pumps, and heat pump water heaters. Those upgrade appliances to clothes dryers, electric stoves, and insulation can also be eligible.
