What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryEliminates home energy rebate and efficiency programs
This bill would cancel three Department of Energy programs that help people and communities save energy. It would end a rebate program that helps low- and moderate-income households afford electric upgrades like heat pumps or induction stoves, stop federal grants for training contractors in home energy efficiency, and eliminate support for states and cities adopting energy-efficient building codes. The bill would also recover any federal money that hasn't been spent on these programs yet.
How it affects you
If you're a low- or moderate-income homeowner, you would lose access to federal rebates that could help pay for electrification projects in your home. Contractors and training programs focused on energy efficiency would lose federal funding support. For most other Americans, this primarily affects the availability of these energy-efficiency assistance programs rather than direct changes to taxes or services.

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 (The unobligated balances for the contractor training grants were previously rescinded by the 2025 reconciliation act.)
