Save on Clean Energy
Two years ago, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law. Since then, clean energy has become more affordable than ever, thanks to new tax credits that have already saved families over $8 billion dollars.
New rebates and tax credits mean that Lower Merion residents can save on necessary home upgrades, like insulation, heat pumps, cooking appliances, solar panels, electric vehicles, and more. And it’s not just homeowners – renters and community institutions like schools and churches are also eligible for savings on clean energy upgrades.
