Saving through an energy-efficient home
- Energy expenses in the U.S. Are expected to rise by roughly 10% in 2025 relative to the previous year, placing additional financial strain on homeowners.
- This cost increase drives interest in energy-efficient home upgrades, which qualify for tax credits if made after January 1, 2023, through 2032.
- According to federal energy data, homes built with energy efficiency in mind can reduce utility costs by as much as 25% and tend to sell for approximately 2.7% more than similar homes without such ratings.
- Tax credits cover 30% of qualified expenses up to $3,200 total, with maximum annual credits of $1,200 for certain improvements and $2,000 for heat pumps and related equipment.
- Making a home energy efficient may reduce utility bills, improve comfort, enhance environmental outcomes, and could increase home value, while also providing financial incentives.
