Classic Insulation & Pest Control

In 2009, homeowners are eligible to for a tax credit of up to $1500 for energy efficient improvements to their home.  The Tax Credit is based on 30% of the material cost that it took to make the improvements.

 

The Tax Credit applies only to the improvements made to the building envelope since they affect energy use.  It requires that the building envelope component being renovated must meet the energy efficiency minimum standards outlined in the 2001 or 2004 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).  The envelope is defined as the area along the perimeter of the home that separates the living space from the outside.

 

This includes attics, foundation and exterior walls, basements and crawl spaces.  Insulation is a key component of the home or building envelope.

Consumers who want to take advantage of the Federal Tax Credits for their homes must install the products between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010.
