• Apply for IWAE’s Rent to Own Program to further reduce the upfront cost of any outlet Scratch and Dent unit.

What Is an Energy Rebate?

Getting paid to bring home a new scratch and dent heating system probably sounds too good to be true, but the groundwork for these savings was laid years ago. Energy rebates for homeowners were part of a 10-year plan included in the IRA, or Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The goal was to incentivize energy-efficient appliance purchases by giving consumers money back when they chose eco-friendly options to replace older, less efficient systems. Backed by the United States Department of Energy, homeowners were intended to receive different rebates based on different energy-efficient home upgrades, including HVAC systems. 

In July of this year, the end date for these rebates was pushed significantly forward when the OBBBA, or One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was passed. Rather than the original 2032 end date, the cut-off for these incredible rebates has moved to December 31, 2025. Rebate opportunities aren't the only things to see an early end or change. Energy Star outlines the additional changes to the claims process in their Federal Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency information.

How Do I Get an Energy Rebate?

Did you know that energy rebate opportunities vary by location? Luckily, IWAE's rebate center makes finding rebate opportunities in your area effortless. Remember: these rebates are only available on systems installed and operational by the end of 2025, meaning time is of the essence. If you wait to purchase a system that meets the eligibility requirements in 2025 but won’t have it up and running until 2026, you’ll miss out on the opportunity to get money back on your eco-conscious purchase.

The steps to take advantage of these federal rebates before they end are easy to follow. Once you’ve done your research and purchased a unit or system that qualifies, there’s little left to do. For federal rebates, you’ll submit an application to the individual provider using the documents and certifications you received with your purchase. For tax credits, little extra work is required; simply fill out the necessary forms when you file your taxes at the start of the year. If you’re ever unsure what to do for your rebate application, reach out to the experts at IWAE for additional information and support through the process.

How IWAE's S&D Units Can Make YOU Money

Let’s review what we know. Through the end of 2025, many new energy-efficient appliances like HVAC systems are eligible for the last round of rebates through the IRA. Such appliances can be found in IWAE’s outlet, including new scratch and dent systems that are discounted due to cosmetic damage that does not negatively impact performance in any way. The best way to take advantage of this one-two punch of savings is simple: compare the S&D systems in the outlet with any available rebates. Once you find an option that works for your home in the overlap, you’ll know you’re getting the absolute max bang-for-buck.

Shopping IWAE’s scratch and dent selection may save you money on a brand new system from the get-go, but that doesn’t always mean the price is easy to swallow. Rebates are paid out after the system is installed and running, meaning you have to pay the initial cost to gain eligibility. Don’t let that price deter you from these game-changing savings! You can pay off your scratch and dent system over time while still getting the unit installed before the rebate cut-off date: Simply apply for IWAE’s new Rent to Own Program.
