Tax Credits
Home improvement projects and energy upgrades are a great way to save money. A variety of tax incentives or credits are available to help you save even more. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provides expanded federal income tax credits for energy efficiency home improvements.
Among the qualifying upgrades are:
- Geothermal Heat Pump HVAC
- Certain air-source heat pumps and heat pump water heaters
- New electric breaker panels and updated wiring
- Home Energy Audit
- Weatherization, including insulation, new doors and windows
- New and used electric vehicles and EV chargers
These projects may be eligible for tax credits based on the year they were placed in service. Some restrictions and annual caps may apply. Also keep in mind that tax credit amounts may decrease from year to year.
JCE Co-op encourages you to talk with your tax professional about available credits and tax deductions when planning your energy-efficiency upgrades.
