Frequently Asked Questions About the Inflation Reduction Act & Home Upgrades

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is making it easier than ever for homeowners to upgrade their homes with energy-efficient heating, cooling, appliances, insulation, and electrical systems—at no out-of-pocket cost. However, many homeowners have questions about how the program works, who qualifies, and how to take advantage of these benefits.

At Liberty Home Comfort, we specialize in helping homeowners maximize their rebates and get free upgrades. Below, we’ve answered the most frequently asked questions to help you understand how you can benefit.

1. What Is the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)?

The Inflation Reduction Act is a federal law aimed at reducing energy costs and promoting clean energy solutions for homeowners.

The IRA provides funding for a range of energy-efficient home improvements, including:

🔥 Heating & Cooling Upgrades (HVAC)

3. Who Qualifies for These Rebates?
