How 25C tax credits and the 'inflation reduction act' can help you save

Available tax credits help lower the cost of insulation and air sealing upgrades. You can claim up to $1,200 every year, in addition to other incentives and rebates. Ask our team how insulation tax credits work and how much you stand to save.

As the homeowner, you claim this tax credit directly when you file your taxes for the year in which the insulation was installed. Our itemized final invoice will include your tax-credit-eligible costs, making the process easy.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the room and space, and there are important steps to follow and considerations to make sure your insulation work actually gets the results you need:

  • Of course old insulation should be removed if it’s wet, moldy, or damaged. Contaminated insulation can harbor pests or reduce indoor air quality, so it's crucial to address underlying issues before proceeding.
  • Before installing new insulation, inspect the area for air leaks. Gaps around vents, electrical wiring, and plumbing should be sealed to maximize energy efficiency.
  • The type and thickness of batt insulation depend on your climate zone and the area being insulated. Another type of insulation like blown-in insulation may perform better for your unique home.
  • When installing batts, they should fit snugly between studs or joists without being compressed. Gaps or improper fit can reduce effectiveness.
  • Make sure the area is free from moisture problems, to avoid mold growth and reduced performance from damp insulation. Adding a vapor barrier may be necessary.

We use advanced equipment and techniques to custom-tailor solutions for every home. Even if you like to DIY we're happy to come out and give you a free inspection and estimate for the opportunity to let the pros handle making sure you get the best results.

This makes it easier for your home’s ventilation and filtration systems to maintain a cleaner indoor environment.
