If you’ve been thinking about making energy efficiency improvements to your home, you should get started soon.
The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit (25C) can save you thousands of dollars on important upgrades like insulation, new windows, and heat pumps. But it won’t be around for much longer.
A new law eliminates the 25C tax credit for home upgrades at the end of 2025. That means you only have a few more months to make upgrades and claim your savings.
At Home Energy Medics, we can help you find out what improvements your home needs and make the necessary upgrades before the tax credit deadline hits.
How Much Can You Save?
You can save up to $3,200 if you make qualifying energy efficiency improvements before December 31, 2025.
Here’s a full breakdown of what qualifies for the 25C tax credit.
Save Up to $1,200 on Energy Efficiency Improvements

An Energy Audit Is the First Step Toward Tax Credit Savings
Before you can claim tax credit savings, you need to figure out what improvements your home needs and then make those improvements by December 31, 2025.
The best way to do that is with an energy audit from Home Energy Medics.
During an energy audit, we test, measure, and verify everything from your insulation to your heating and cooling systems to find out what’s costing you the most on your energy bills and where comfort problems like hot and stuffy rooms are coming from.
Our energy audits leave nothing to guesswork. They include:
Insulation Evaluation - We evaluate your insulation and use infrared cameras to find hidden gaps inside walls and ceilings.
Air Leakage Testing - Using a blower door, we find out how much air is leaking into your house from the outside, pushing your heated/cooled air out.
Duct Leakage Test - We’ll look for leaks in your air duct system that can waste heat/AC before it even reaches your living spaces.
Combustion Safety Testing - We make sure your combustion appliances are working safely.
Leaks & Moisture Check - We look inside and outside your home to check for any way water could be getting in.
Your audit will show us exactly which improvements you need to make to reduce your energy costs and make your house a safer, more comfortable place to live. From there, we can help you prioritize upgrades so you can save as much as possible before tax incentives end.
