Incentives to help homeowners improve efficiency and save on their power bills would be eliminated under a major policy bill championed by President Trump. Under the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit would phase out at the end of the year. That program provides incentives to weatherize homes, install heat pumps or replace hot water heaters and boilers with more efficient models. "These are things that really end up saving a lot of money in the long term for families. Those credits ending at the end of the year are going to have significant impact," said Anya Fetcher, a federal policy advocate at the Natural Resources Council of Maine.
