SUMMARY:Save Money by Becoming More Energy Efficient!
DESCRIPTION:Becoming energy efficient\, or using less energy for the same services\, is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to reduce energy use. Through 2033\, federal and state incentives can help homeowners and renters cut their energy footprints and save money.\n\nThe Defenders is hosting free informational sessions on the tax credits and rebates available to residents for improving the energy efficiency of their homes and switching their appliances and cars to electricity. Staff from the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) lead the sessions.\n\nThe next in-person session will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 pm at Lake in the Hills Village Hall.\n\nDon’t have time to make it to an in-person session? No problem\, you can view previous sessions on your phone or computer. In just an hour\, you’ll learn a lot about how to save energy and money!\n\nView on Defenders YouTube at\nSessions in English-\nJanuary 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDqNVe4qA6sMarch 2024- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N02zFkrpg8cSession in Spanish\nJanuary 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YibW85AoR4&t=62s\nTo receive email updates on future informational sessions\, sign up at https://tinyurl.com/signup4energysavings\nThe Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, federal legislation passed in 2022\, and the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA)\, a state act passed in 2021 provide tax credits and rebates are available for energy efficiency and electrification for Illinois residents. Low and Medium Income (LMI) residents can often receive higher incentives. This includes tax credits for weatherization\, renewable energy\, battery systems\, electric vehicles\, and rebates for electric appliances like induction stoves\, heat pump water heaters and heat pump dryers.\n\nThe Environmental Defenders of McHenry County is the recipient of a grant from McHenry County’s Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Program to inform and educate McHenry County residents about the various incentives and rebates they can utilize to improve their energy efficiency and transition to cleaner forms of energy.
