Existing Homes

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Section 25 C allows homeowners to receive tax credits on energy upgrades including insulation products when "placed in service" between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010. 

With the passing of the stimulus package, they have changed the credits from 10% to 30% of materials up to $1500.  Supporting documentation will be provided upon installation of these items. Please consult your tax professional for more information.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) defines "home insulation" as "any material mainly used to slow down heat flow" (16 CFR Part 460.2). ENERGY STAR considers insulation to be products or materials that meet the FTC's definition of "home insulation" and are used to insulate a whole wall, ceiling, or floor. These products include, but are not limited to: fiberglass, cellulose, mineral wool, whole-wall spray foam, rigid foam board, cotton fiber batts, and foil radiant barrier products.
