What is the tax credit for existing homes?
Existing homes are eligible for a series of efficiency measures. For some measures, such as insulation, a taxpayer can take a credit of up to $1500 off the cost of materials. There is a $500 cap on the credit per home for some updates, including the amount received for heating and cooling equipment, as described in the next section. Lower caps are set on credits for some individual measures.
What is eligible for the federal tax credits?
- Added insulation to walls, ceilings, or other part of the building envelope.
- Replacement windows and skylights: credit capped at $200.
- Window Films
- External doors
- Sealing cracks in the building shell and ducts to reduce infiltration and heat loss.
- Pigmented metal roofs, or an asphalt roof with appropriate cooling granules.
- Only materials (insulation, windows, sealants, etc.) are eligible and not the labor to install these materials.
Concerned about your heating costs this winter? MassSAVE can help, with home energy solutions to save you money and improve your home’s performance. We invite you to learn about your options and choose solutions that make the most sense for your home.
In Massachusetts today, there are a number of programs that help residents who qualify manage their energy costs. These programs include fuel assistance, utility discount rates and energy efficiency services. A group of the state’s utility companies have joined forces with MASSCAP and LEAN to promote the programs to qualifying households. The initiative is known as Energy Bucks.
- FUEL ASSISTANCE Subsidies to reduce the price you pay for energy services
- UTILITY DISCOUNT RATES Discounted rates that lower what you are charged for the energy you use
- ENERGY EFFICIENCY SERVICES Weatherization services that make your house more energy efficient, thereby reducing your total energy needs
