Energy Efficient Home Improvement: 25C (Up to $3,200 Available Now)
DESCRIPTION
The Inflation Reduction Act significantly expands and extends the 25C tax credit, now known as the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. Previously, this tax credit was limited to 10% of your project costs but is now increased to up to 30% and available on an annual basis. After January 1, 2023, qualified energy-efficient improvements to your home may qualify you for tax credits worth up to $3,200.
ELIGIBILITY
You may claim the energy efficient home improvement credit for improvements to your main home. Your main home is generally where you live most of the time. You can't claim the credit if you're a landlord or other property owner who doesn't live in the home.
For the energy efficiency home improvement credit, the home must be:
· Located in the United States
· An existing home that you improve or add onto, not a new home
Homeowners can claim up to $2,000 for heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, or biomass stoves. Upgrade costs eligible for the credit can include equipment, installation, and labor costs.
Homeowners can also claim up to $1,200 for other weatherization installs and energy-efficient improvements including up to:
· $150 for a home energy audit
· $250 for a new exterior door ($500 total for all exterior doors)
· $600 for new exterior windows and skylights
· $1,200 for insulation
· $600 for an upgraded electrical panel.
High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate HEEHRA
The Inflation Reduction Act includes $8.8 billion in rebates for home energy efficiency and electrification projects, which is expected to save American households up to $1 billion annually. This legislation provides point-of-sale discounts to low- and moderate-income households across America to electrify their homes. When households make qualifying electrification purchases, they will receive these rebates as immediate, off-the-top discounts.
Your State will administer the program, which provides rebates on ENERGY STAR-certified appliances and other home electrification projects. It may take 1-2 years to get the program up and running in your state.
Please note that homeowners can only receive a rebate from either the HEEHRA or the HOMES program (additional information below)—not both. However, it is expected that homeowners will be eligible, pending DOE guidance, to combine both a rebate from either of these two rebate programs with an energy efficiency tax credit at the same time.
