Watch Out For IRA Rebate Scams! Unscrupulous people are contacting homeowners and property owners claiming they represent the California Energy Commission (CEC) and/or the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) rebates for home energy upgrades. The only federal, IRA-funded home electrification rebates currently available to Californians are HEEHRA rebates provided through specially trained  TECH Clean California contractors . Your HEEHRA-trained and TECH Clean California-certified contractor will only need your home’s income eligibility verification code or approval PDF, which will indicate the level of rebate you are qualified to receive. Do not provide your financial information to any person or business offering to submit rebates on your behalf. Do not allow contractors into your home who are not on the TECH-certified and HEEHRA-trained contractor list. If you are concerned that you were lied to or scammed, we encourage you to contact the  California Department of Consumer Affairs  or call 1-800-952-5210,  California’s Office of the Attorney General the  Better Business Bureau  or your county’s District Attorney’s Office. Background on the IRA Programs On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into law to help Americans save money on energy bills, improve residential energy reliability, and grow a skilled American workforce. The IRA introduced two major home rebate programs: the HOMES Program, which provides rebates to improve the energy performance of an entire home; and the HEEHRA Program, which provides appliance rebates for income-eligible Californians. The IRA also funds contractor training through CA-TREC grants.
