New Green Door App Features Encourage Demand for Pearl Contractors

The multi-billion-dollar Inflation Reduction Act will change how homeowners think about their homes and will increase consumer demand like never before. The IRA creates fantastic opportunities for homeowners and contractors alike, but with 725 pages of qualifications and stipulations, it is quite complicated. Thankfully, Pearl Certification is adding practical new features to make our free Green Door app the one-stop shop for navigating the IRA.

These latest Green Door enhancements will not only increase app users, but they will also drive more homeowners to use the app to search for qualified Pearl Network Contractors like you.

Rebates Finder

Green Door’s latest tool makes it easier than ever for homeowners to create their high-performance homes by taking the confusion out of the rebates process. Rebates Finder surfaces big savings in the form of home energy rebates and tax credits available to each user based on their address.

Homeowners can filter savings by program and product type and pin tax credit and rebate opportunities that appeal to them for later use. They can search for savings by other addresses, and discover which recommendations in their Home Investment Plans qualify for rebates and tax credits.

And as new rebates and tax credits are created by states as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act, Rebates Finder will stay up to date to ensure that homeowners can take advantage of every savings opportunity.

Contractors can leverage this feature in a number of ways:

• Help address the cost barrier during the sales discussion by surfacing savings opportunities.

• Build trust with prospective customers by demonstrating expertise in IRA-related savings.

• Utilize a comprehensive rebates and tax credits list to create a Home Investment Plan with a roadmap for future customer engagements.

2022 Tax Credit Notifications

Certain energy-efficient home improvements, such as insulation and air sealing, are eligible for 25C and 25D tax credits if installation was performed during 2022. Based on the home improvements logged in Green Door, Pearl Certification will specify to each homeowner which of their improvements are eligible for tax credits and provide helpful information homeowners can take to their tax professionals to aid with application. We’ll also notify homeowners via email that they should log in to Green Door to see which of their 2022 improvements qualify.

After homeowners learn of the rebates available to them, they can click on the Find Professionals tab to locate local Pearl Network Contractors to complete the installation.
