The federal ENERGY STAR Appliance Credit covers qualifying appliances like electric stoves, cooktops, heat pump clothes dryers, and heat pump water heaters. The IRA HEEHR program offers point-of-sale rebates up to $840 for ENERGY STAR appliances for income-qualified households.
Are there rebates for energy-efficient washers and dryers?
Heat pump clothes dryers qualify for the federal tax credit and IRA rebates. Standard ENERGY STAR washers may qualify for utility rebates in your area, typically $50 to $150 per unit.
How do I claim appliance rebates?
Federal tax credits are claimed on Form 5695. IRA rebates are applied at the point of sale once your state program launches. Utility rebates usually require submitting a rebate form with proof of purchase.
Do water heaters count as appliances for rebates?
Heat pump water heaters qualify for both the federal tax credit ($2,000 annual limit shared with heat pumps) and IRA HEEHR rebates (up to $1,750). Standard electric or gas water heaters generally do not qualify.
What is the annual limit on appliance tax credits?
The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit has a $1,200 annual cap for most improvements, but heat pumps and heat pump water heaters get a separate $2,000 annual limit. These limits reset each year through 2032.
