Efficiency Incentives

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 recognizes the crucial role of energy efficiency measures in curbing inflation, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting sustainable practices. It offers incentives for insulation improvements, and energy efficiency measures to address both inflationary pressures and environmental concerns. By offering tax credits, grants, and promoting consumer education, the act aims to accelerate the adoption of these energy-efficient technologies and practices, leading to reduced energy consumption, lower operating costs, and ultimately contributing to inflation reduction and a more sustainable future.

These incentives include the following Federal tax credits:

  • A tax credit of up to $500 for installing insulation. The tax credit is available for all types of insulation, including fiberglass, cellulose, and spray foam.
  • A tax credit of up to $1,000 for replacing windows and doors. The tax credit is available for windows and doors that meet certain energy efficiency standards.
  • A tax credit of up to $2,000 for installing a home energy audit. A home energy audit can help you identify areas where you can improve the energy efficiency of your home.

Many state and local governments offer rebates for energy-efficient home improvements. The amount of the rebate varies from state to state. DSIRE is the most comprehensive source of information on incentives and policies that support renewables and energy efficiency in the United States. Established in 1995, DSIRE is operated by the N.C. Clean Energy Technology Center at N.C. State University,

These incentives can make it more affordable to make energy-efficient upgrades to your home. In addition to the financial benefits, energy-efficient homes can save you money on your energy bills and help to reduce your carbon footprint.
