Upgrading your home with energy-efficient products is one of the smartest investments you can make. Thanks to the Federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit, you can claim 30% of the total cost of qualifying improvements—including both materials and installation.
This is a direct tax credit, which means real savings on your tax bill—not just a deduction.
