How Does the Federal Energy Tax Credit Work?

In August 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act. It has many parts, one of which is the Federal Energy Savings Tax Credit. Under this program, you can subtract a certain amount from what you owe the IRS if you install energy-efficient heating and cooling devices or make energy-saving upgrades to your home.

This is not a rebate, so you won’t get a check in the mail. You will, however, owe less in taxes than you otherwise might. These savings could mean that you pay fewer taxes and have more money to spend on the things you love.

In order to qualify for these programs, you’ll need paperwork after installation, which we can provide. You will also need to fill out IRS form 5695 when you file your tax return. If you rely on a tax professional, they can handle it all for you.

Which Home Improvements Qualify for the Federal Energy Savings Tax Credit?

The greatest savings are for people who want to install multi-zone heat pump systems. However, these won’t work for everyone or in every home. Therefore, there are also rebates offered on qualifying furnaces, air conditioners, and other options.

You can also get the tax credit if you make energy-saving modifications to your home. Installing solar panels, upgrading your insulation, or putting in more efficient doors, windows, skylights, etc. can all net you credit on your next tax bill.

Other Energy Programs

There are a number of rebate programs out there that you might qualify for, too. The High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act offers rebates for upgrades that move your home towards relying on electricity, rather than gas. The HOMES rebate program offers rebates when people make whole-home energy-efficient upgrades. You may use as many rebate and tax credit programs as your purchase qualifies for.

Cory Jones just installed our new garbage disposal. He did a GREAT job! He was on time, was very personable and we really appreciated him. A BIG THANK YOU!
The gentlemen did a great job, very professional, installed an outdoor plug very timely despite it had gotten dark outside.
Fish with Lightfoot Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electrical has been been a breath of fresh air. He's extremely knowledgeable and competent. He addressed the problem and took the time to explain things so that we understood. It felt like he cared and that meant a lot.
Jarrod and Billy did a great job-professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Explained what was being done. We have used Lightfoot for years and will continue to use them for our HVAC, plumbing, and electrical care.
Had a great experience when we had a pipe break at the ranch we work at after regular business hours. Jerod was quick and efficient and very easy to work with. I would recommend Lightfoot for anyone needing a good company to get you taken care of.
I had a membership with Lightfoot a couple of years ago and ended up letting it go. Big mistake. I had an emergency problem and instead of calling the tried and true. I called another local company. I have had nothing but problems with that company. They did not stand behind their word and a lot of the work they did had to be redone. They also caused extra damage. This time I needed assist I called Lightfoot. They were prompt, professional and very reasonable. I did sign a new membership with them and will keep it current from here on out. Lesson learned. Thank you Lightfoot.
Very professional! Quick service!
