No Homeownership Required!

Life can be hectic, especially when money is tight. At Let's Green CA, we understand the challenges you face. That's why we're passionate about the transformative power of electrification, reducing our environmental impact and empowering you to take control of your future. Our goal is to help you understand why electrification matters and encourage you to embrace electric transportation and home appliances. By doing so, you'll gain access to reliable and affordable options that save money, enhance your quality of life, create a healthier home, and contribute to a more sustainable community.

Our best advice? Electrify everything as quickly as you can.

Electrification is a game-changer, revolutionizing the way we power our homes and cars by shifting from fossil fuel-based energy sources to clean electricity as our primary fuel. By embracing electrification, you can expect monthly savings on energy costs, reduced maintenance needs, improved indoor and outdoor air quality for better health, and enhanced comfort and quality of life. Additionally, electric vehicles save money, provide a smoother ride, and offer lightning-fast acceleration in seconds, along with savings on fuel and maintenance expenses!

Fortunately, there are thousands of dollars in government incentives available to help families afford clean electric home appliances and cars. We encourage you to sign our form to gain access to our resources page. This page conveniently organizes information, making it easy for you to find the resources you need. Don't miss out on this opportunity to discover valuable resources that can make a difference in your life!

But before you go, let's talk briefly about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), often referred to as the electric bank account for American households.

In 2022, the Federal government passed the IRA, unlocking billions of dollars in annual rebates and incentives over the next decade to improve energy efficiency and lower utility bills for families, regardless of homeownership status. Whether you're purchasing an energy-efficient kitchen appliance, a heat pump, or seeking a tax credit for a new or used electric vehicle, the IRA has something for you.

The IRA represents a significant step towards reducing emissions and improving our environment's quality for the benefit of people's lives. However, most families are unaware of the IRA and other electrification incentive opportunities available to them.

Under the Act, for example, a family of five residing in their own home in the 93901 zip code of Salinas, CA with an annual income of $65,000 may qualify for upfront discounts of $14,000 in electrification incentives, $4,050 in available tax credits, and an approximate annual energy savings of $1,350. Some households have the opportunity to benefit from additional state and local incentives to replace aging appliances, such as stoves, water heaters, and furnaces with modern electric equipment at no upfront cost. This not only provides immediate economic benefits but also promotes the adoption of more efficient and sustainable technologies.

Homeowners are not the only ones with the opportunity to save significantly. Low-income renters can benefit from utility bill savings by utilizing efficient technologies. Following the same model, a family of five who are renting their home may qualify for upfront discounts of $9,700, along with the same tax credits and estimated energy savings!

To gain a deeper understanding of the IRA and other available incentives, and to stay updated on electrifying insights and tips, we invite you to fill out this form. We want to ensure that you have all the information you need to make the most of electrification without investing too much of your valuable time.

Remember, electrification puts you in control, allowing you to make sustainable choices that benefit your wallet and your life. By doing so, you’re contributing to a greener, cleaner tomorrow for future generations. We're excited to be on this journey with you!
