What is the 25C Tax Credit?
- A federal tax credit that returns 30% of qualified home energy upgrade costs.
- Covers upgrades like insulation, air sealing, doors, windows, skylights, furnaces, qualifying energy star appliances, and home energy audits
- Max of $3,200/year for envelope upgrades and heating upgrades
- You can claim it until December 31, 2025 (for installations placed in service by then).
Why Act Before the End of 2025?
- Deadline Alert: Upgrades must be installed by Dec 31, 2025 to qualify, don’t miss this window.
- Stackable Savings: Combine this credit with local rebates and financing to lower your cost even further.
