The Insulation Tax Credit
The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit is a federal tax credit equaling 30% of the total cost for a variety of energy efficiency home upgrades, including qualifying insulation and air sealing expenses. There is an annual maximum credit of $1,200 for the category of upgrades that includes insulation.
- Available to anyone with federal tax liability
- Can be combined with other incentives and insulation rebates
- $150 credit for energy audits
- Can be claimed in multiple years (but not for the same upgrade)
As the homeowner, you claim this tax credit directly when you file your taxes. Our itemized final invoice will include your tax-credit-eligible costs, making the process easy!
UPDATE: The insulation tax credit is expiring early! Your home upgrades must now be completed on or before December 31, 2025 in order to qualify. Our schedule is filling up fast—call today to lock in your savings!
