Tax Incentives &
Energy Benefits
Some exterior improvements may qualify for federal energy efficiency tax credits, helping homeowners recover part of their investment after the work is complete.
These incentives are designed to reward improvements that reduce energy usage and improve long-term efficiency, part of the long-term cost reduction that investment-grade improvements are designed to deliver. Tax credits and energy savings should be viewed as thoughtful improvements that pay you back over time after installation, not discounts at the point of sale.
We support homeowners by:
Providing product specifications and documentation
Clearly outlining the scope of completed work
Making it easy to share details with your tax professional
Energy savings beyond tax credits
Upgrades will also reduce heating and cooling costs year after year. Improved insulation, tighter seals, and higher-performance windows and doors help your home maintain comfortable temperatures more efficiently.
Federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (IRS Section 25C)
Homeowners who install qualifying, energy-efficient improvements may be eligible for a federal tax credit equal to up to 30% of the cost of eligible upgrades, subject to annual limits and IRS requirements.
Current Annual Credit Limits (subject to eligibility)
To qualify, products must meet current ENERGY STAR® certification standards and other IRS criteria. Based on current guidelines, qualifying improvements may be eligible for credits* up to:
Windows:
Up to $600 per year for ENERGY STAR®–certified window installations
Exterior Doors:
Up to $250 per door, with a maximum of $500 annually
Insulation & Air Sealing:
Up to $1,200 per year, including qualifying insulation and air-sealing measures
That’s up to $2,500 in combined annual credits across qualifying improvements, depending on the scope of work and individual eligibility.
