U.S. Federal Tax Credit

Did you know that you may be eligible for a Federal Tax Credit for purchasing Low-E Insulation?

US Tax Credit for Insulation

How can you benefit?

On December 17, 2010, President Obama signed signed the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. This law extends the tax credits for energy efficiency into 2011, BUT at lower levels. The levels revert back to those in effect in 2006 and 2007, which were 10% of the cost of the improvement, up to $500, with a $200 max for windows, and several other set maximums.

The highlights are:

  • $500 lifetime limit. If you got over $500 in these tax credits from 2006-2010, you are not eligible for anything more.
  • 10% up to $500 for insulation, roofs and doors.
  • Windows capped at $200, but qualification now ENERGY STAR.
  • Furnace and boilers capped at $150, and all furnaces and boilers must meet 95 AFUE.
  • $50 for advance main air circulating fan.
  • $300 for air conditioners, air source heat pumps, water heaters, and biomass stoves.
