New Year, New Newsletter!

Welcome to 2023 – Letter from our Executive Director & CEO

We are pleased to relaunch a monthly newsletter for members, the EAP Energizer! This quick-read monthly digest will provide members with information on EAP happenings, content from our valued business solutions partners, industry news, and more. Learn how to submit news for consideration here.

The EAP is gearing up for a busy year of new and fun events. Keep an eye out for Staff Advisory Group announcements to learn how to get involved with the planning of these events.

As always, don’t hesitate to contact me!

Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – Energy Efficiency Incentives

This is the single largest climate investment in American History, investing $369 billion dollars to reduce carbon pollution in the US by 2030. What does this mean for you? Another tool for your sales kit when speaking with customers interested in energy efficient equipment and upgrades! Most of the incentives are geared toward the consumer, however there are incentives for home builders and commercial incentives as well. 

We’ve compiled a summary of tax credits and rebates available as part of the IRA. Feel free to share this with your team to help them better understand it and have direct resources to the various nuances of this Act.

For our members serving the heating & air conditioning community, be sure to check out the Spring Residential HVAC Rebate Program (information coming soon) that will complement the IRA, increasing the savings to your customers!

As more information becomes available, we will be sure to share it with members. 

We’d like to thank and recognize Rewiring America for their excellent resources related to the IRA; check them out!


Up to $24,000 in Scholarship Funds Available!

Please share this information with your employees as an added benefit of working with your company! Since 1995, the Foundation has advanced the educational endeavors of 113 students.
