HOMES Rebate Program - $4.3 billion
Known as the Home Owner Managing Energy Savings Rebate program, rebates will be tied to an energy assessment that will track energy efficiency improvement before/after.  Rebates range from $2,000 - $4,000 based in the percentage of energy efficiency improvement.  This is also available for multi-family.  This program will also be tiered to income levels with the highest incentives to low/medium income families. 

Stay Tuned 
​Funding will be released to state energy offices.  In California,  that will be California Energy Commission. These programs will take months to implement. States need to apply,  program implementation, and  training contractors, and energy assessors.
In the past, those funds will be released to agencies.
Are you planning any home renovations or replacing deferred conditions?  Stay informed.  We'll keep you posted to take advantage of these tax incentives and rebates.
