The Inflation Reduction Act Rebate for electric wiring in Connecticut provides financial assistance to homeowners for electrical wiring upgrades. The rebate program has different coverage and eligibility criteria based on income levels. For low-income households (under 80 percent of the Area Median Income), the rebate covers 100 percent of electrical wiring costs, up to a maximum of $2,500. Moderate-income households (between 80 percent and 150 percent of the Area Median Income) are eligible for a rebate that covers 50 percent of electrical wiring costs, also up to $2,500.
Upgrading electrical wiring is an essential step for whole-home electrification, along with the installation of an electrical panel. Many electric appliances, such as EV chargers, induction stoves, heat pumps, and heat pump water heaters, require 240V connections instead of regular outlets. Therefore, it is recommended to install additional dedicated circuits and outlets during an electrical panel upgrade or any other electrification project in your home. This proactive approach ensures that when you need to replace a fossil fuel appliance in the future, the necessary circuit and wiring will already be in place, saving you money and time by avoiding the need to hire an electrician again.
Upgrading the electrical wiring in Connecticut homes can offer several advantages to homeowners, including:
The average initial cost of upgrading electrical wiring, this can also vary depending on the scope of the project. According to HomeAdvisor, the average cost to upgrade electrical wiring in a home can range from $1,500 to $10,000 or more, depending on the size of the home, the number of electrical outlets and circuits, and other factors.
While upgrading electrical wiring may not have an immediate cost-saving impact, it plays a crucial role in enabling whole-home electrification. BBy facilitating the use of energy-efficient appliances that necessitate 240V connections—like EV chargers, induction stoves, and a majority of heat pumps and heat pump water heaters—updated electrical wiring plays a pivotal role in unlocking substantial lifetime energy cost savings. These cumulative savings can amount to thousands of dollars over the typical lifespan of a home’s electrical system, making electrical wiring an indispensable element of energy-efficient home upgrades.
