Busse, a certified contractor with <a href=\"https:\/\/advantagehomeperformance.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Advantage Home Performance,<\/a> said the Efficiency Arizona program can significantly reduce monthly electric bills \u2014 and in some cases, eliminate the upfront cost entirely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI\u2019ve talked to a lot of clients that have energy bills over $700, and they think it\u2019s normal because they don\u2019t know any better,\u201d Busse said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Busse said low-income households could have 100% of project costs covered, while mid-income households may receive up to 50%. He said the rebate money can be credited to the bill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Julia Merritt, who lives near Tucson, said she was among the first to use the program. Her air conditioning system had been struggling before the upgrades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI didn\u2019t think we\u2019d make it another year,\u201d Merritt said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">After the upgrades, Merritt said her electric bills dropped by 40% last summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt was like I hit the jackpot,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">This month, Gov. Katie Hobbs visited Phoenix homeowners who applied for the program. Hobbs said only about 800 rebates have been issued to homeowners statewide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Busse said thousands of Arizonans are missing out on the savings opportunity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThey get to be comfortable and still be able to afford it,\u201d Busse said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">If you would like to apply, <a href=\"https:\/\/ira-az.dsmcentral.com\/traksmart4\/html\/pux\/commercial\/auth\/login\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">click here.<\/a> Busse said you can learn if you qualify in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">If you do, he recommends booking a contractor as soon as possible.
