Energy Circle: IRA Rollouts: How to Talk With Customers About Incentives
Overview
Here are some strategies that can keep homeowners informed about IRA rebates while also encouraging them to act now.
With several big name news outlets—like The New York Times and Forbes—reporting on the Inflation Reduction Act rebates, consumer interest is building way in advance of the funds actually becoming available.

Even though we don’t know when the rebates will be available, it’s important to keep your business moving forward. Here are some strategies that can keep homeowners informed while also encouraging them to act now.
