Indiana pays for eco homes.
Eco grants in Indiana can be in the form of government money that is specifically designated for green energy. Often these grants are provided in the form of tax credits or rebates. Private individuals or societies can also place money in a fund to be used by qualifying individuals. Does this Spark an idea?
ITC for Wind Energy
Small wind turbines power homes.
The federal government offers an investment tax credit (ITC) through Indiana that provides consumers with a tax credit for purchasing small wind turbines for their home. Thirty percent of the total installed cost of the system, with a cap of $4,000, can be earned through the ITC program.
Energy Efficient Heating and Cooling
Reduce energy consumption by using Energy Star-rated appliances.
Any Indiana owner-occupied residence that meets Energy Star eligibility requirements can receive $300 to $1,000 from the state government by purchasing furnaces, boilers, air conditioners or heat pumps that reduce energy consumption by a certain amount, depending on the equipment.
Energy Savings on Farms
Rural areas can make eco trends.
Indiana's rural areas can take a positive step into the next generation of energy efficiency as promoted by the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). Small hydroelectric power, biomass for heat, geothermal heating, and wind and solar power are some of the areas where project awards are granted each year to qualifying farms and homes.
