Some states have stopped disbursing funds to consumers via rebate programs tied to home energy efficiency.

They cited a White House freeze on federal funding that conflicts with President Trump 's agenda.

The Inflation Reduction Act , passed in 2022 , earmarked $8.8 billion of federal funds for consumers through two home energy rebate programs.

The rebates defray the cost of retrofitting homes and upgrading appliances to be more energy efficient.
