2012 Tax Credit Information for Energy Star Rated Home Improvements

2012 Tax Credit Information for Energy Star Rated Home Improvements


One of our most common questions when people curious about spray foam insulation is 'How do spray foam companies compete with cheaper fiberglass insulation systems?'  Well the answer to that question is the tax credit.  The past 2 years the tax credit for spray foam insulation had gone down, but this year the IRS has decided to again add incentive for homeowners and business owners that are looking to reduce energy consumption.  In 2012 the tax credit for having spray foam insulation is much better then it has been in years pass, giving homeowners 30% of the cost of having a Energy Star Rated Home Improvement.  With 30% of the cost being paid for in the form of a tax credit, the cost of making a home improvement with Energy Star Rated materials has come down drastically.  As anybody that has ever bought an appliance or electronic with the Energy Star ratings, they're generally a little higher in price yet also a much better product usually as well too. Energy Star products also payback the difference in cost in the form of energy savings as well.

So what's all this mean for the homeowner in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia? Well this means that now is the time to improve the energy efficiency of your home.  With utility companies seeking and getting rate increase approvals from North Carolina and South Carolina utility regulators, now is never a better time to reduce energy consumption.  Spray Foam Insulation, Solar Energy, Energy Efficient Roofing, and Energy Monitoring devices can lower your power bill tremendously.  Spray Foam Insulation can save 33% and more on heating and cooling cost alone.  For more information on Energy Star tax credit information, go the Energy Star Tax Credit web page at:
