If you have made an energy efficient change or upgrade to your home, you may be eligible for a federal tax credit. Many are becoming proactive about making their homes more energy efficient. These tax credits can help recoup some of the cost for certain efficiency upgrades. Tax credits are available for many types of home improvements, including adding insulation, replacing windows, and certain high efficiency heating and cooling equipment.
Tax time will be here before we know it and now is the time to start thinking about where your invoices or receipts may be stored. For more information and details on how to file for your federal tax credit, please visit Energy Star online at
