The Homeowner Energy Freedom Act stops government programs that provided financial help for homeowners to make their homes more energy-efficient. This means fewer incentives for people to switch to electric appliances and improve energy use in their homes.
Homeowner Energy Freedom Act This bill repeals the Department of Energy's (1) high-efficiency electric home rebate program for certain electrification projects in low- or moderate-income households, (2) state-based home energy efficiency contractor training grants, and (3) assistance for states and local governments to adopt specified building energy codes. It also rescinds any unobligated balances available for the rebates or adopting the building energy codes. (The unobligated balances for the contractor training grants were previously rescinded by the 2025 reconciliation act.)
