The Homeowner Energy Freedom Act would repeal three energy efficiency programs created by the Inflation Reduction Act, which currently provide federal support for home electrification projects. Specifically, it would eliminate a high-efficiency electric home rebate program that helps homeowners upgrade to electric appliances, a grant program for training contractors in home energy efficiency, and funding assistance for building energy code adoption. The bill would also rescind any federal money that has not yet been spent under these three programs, redirecting those funds away from home energy upgrades. This legislation would primarily affect homeowners seeking financial assistance for electrification upgrades, contractors working in the energy efficiency field, and states developing updated building energy standards. If enacted, the bill would reduce federal support for residential energy efficiency initiatives without specifying alternative uses for the rescinded funding.
