Tax time is here. Did you know:

• There are tax credits available now to homeowners who are making energy efficiency and electrification upgrades? 
• There are additional programs to reduce your upfront costs? 
• By making these upgrades you can lower your energy bill, conserve energy, reduce your carbon footprint, and make your home healthier and more comfortable?

Tune in to “Electrify Your Home with Rebates and Incentives: A Carbon-Free Fairfax Webinar” on Thursday, March 7 at 6 p.m. ET to learn about the tax credits and rebates as well as Residential Energy Conservation Programs available through Dominion Energy. The livestream event is being hosted by the Fairfax County Office of Environmental and Energy Coordination (OEEC), in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy and Honeywell Smart Energy.

Together, they will answer common questions about how to take advantage of these federal tax credits and rebates as well as the Energy Conservation Programs, how much you can save, and what projects qualify.

Through 2032, homeowners can take advantage of federal income tax credits available through the Inflation Reduction Act for getting an energy audit and making upgrades such as installing electric heat pumps and other energy efficient appliances, doors and windows, and insulation. There are also income tax credits for clean energy equipment, such as rooftop solar, wind energy, geothermal heat pumps and battery storage. Many of these items will also qualify for the Home Energy Rebates.

Dominion Energy customers in Fairfax County can also benefit from rebate and incentive programs for getting home energy assessments, buying ENERGY STAR® appliances and adding smart controls for heating and cooling your home.

The virtual event will be hosted by OEEC and feature brief presentations and Q/A with:

• Michael Forrester, Assistant Director of Partnerships, U.S. Department of Energy’s State and Community Energy Programs. He is managing the program design and implementation of the $8.8 billion Home Energy Rebates program.   
• Travis W. Bryant, project manager, and David Gray, project coordinator, Honeywell Smart Energy. They manage Residential Energy Conservation Programs for Dominion Energy across Virginia & North Carolina. 

The webinar will be livestreamed on Fairfax County’s YouTube channel as well as OEEC’s Facebook page. No registration required.  It will also be immediately available on YouTube to watch the replay after the livestream. Be sure to tune in at 6 p.m. on March 7.
