Rewiring America

“You don’t need to do this all at once. It’s really about just knowing what to do and making sure you have a plan for when that next appliance dies.” Meet Cora Wyent. As Rewiring America’s Research Director, Cora knows a thing or two about electric home appliances. So when almost all her gas-powered appliances suddenly stopped working, she seized the opportunity to switch to efficient, electric ones. From her induction stove to her heat pump, Cora isn’t just cutting her carbon emissions and lowering her energy bills. She’s also creating a safer, healthier home for her soon-to-arrive baby. And that’s what electric living is all about. Take a look inside Cora’s sunny, electric home in Los Angeles ⬇️

We are just about a month out from Tax Day, and I wanted to take a moment to sing the praises of the humble Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit — known to its fans as 25C. For those who are unfamiliar, the 25C tax credit helps Americans invest in energy-efficient insulation, doors, windows, water heaters and heating / cooling equipment. 25C is the “small but mighty” tax credit because of its overall efficiency, just like equipment it helps households afford. Low impact on the federal budget. Big benefits for families and communities. This week we learned just how mighty those benefits are: Rewiring America crunched the numbers and found that every dollar American households receive back on their taxes for installing energy-efficient equipment generates ten dollars in consumer demand. And this boost in consumer demand in turn supports 240,000 jobs nationwide. You might even know someone who works at one of these jobs, which include: - 37,000 domestic manufacturing jobs: the people working in the factories building the heating and cooling equipment and manufacturing insulation materials; - 21,000 domestic distribution jobs: the people driving the trucks delivering the materials to wholesale distributors and retail stores, and all the people working at those distributors and stores; - 41,000 local installation jobs: your friendly neighborhood HVAC or weatherization contractor; and - 143,000 jobs supporting each of these sectors. I am a big fan of the 25C tax credit for two reasons 1) it helps Americans invest in upgrades that can cut household energy bills by 30 percent, enough to wipe out the past four years of rising energy costs; and 2) homeowners who use it receive an average of $880 back on their taxes (just about enough to cover a family of four’s monthly grocery bill.)

Small, but mighty! 💪 When it comes to delivering savings to Americans while bolstering domestic jobs, the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit (also known as 25C) punches well above its weight. The 25C tax credit helps Americans invest in energy-efficient insulation, doors, windows, water heaters, and heating/cooling equipment — upgrades that can collectively cut energy bills by enough to wipe out the 30 percent surge in home energy bills since 2020. This incentive is also super popular: More than 2.3 million homeowners used 25C in 2023, receiving an average of $880 in tax relief. Our new analysis shows how the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit drives consumer spending critical to supporting domestic jobs. Link in the comments!

Cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and more affordable all year long! Last summer, we celebrated the unveiling of a new crossover heat pump in Ethan G.’s home in Georgia. This energy-efficient upgrade was made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act’s Air Source Heat Pumps Tax Credit — helping homeowners reduce energy costs while supporting electric solutions. Special thanks to Jason Peavey of PV Heating, Cooling & Plumbing for his expert installation and the local, family-owned businesses making a difference in Georgia communities.
