The Green Light to Invest in Sustainable Home Improvements
Congress’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is happening now, and homeowners should take advantage of the Residential Energy Credit. The goal of the program is to help reduce energy bills, improve comfort, and protect the environment.
The Residential Clean Energy Credit is a tax credit offered by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to individuals who make certain types of energy-efficient improvements to their homes. This includes things like attic insulation and air sealing. The credit allows homeowners to claim a credit on their taxes for a portion of the cost of these improvements. The amount of the credit varies depending on the type of improvement made, but it can be as much as 30% of the cost of the improvement. The credit is subject to certain limits and restrictions, and it may not be available to all homeowners.
