- The Energy-Efficient Home Improvement Credit -- Beginning next year, this credit will allow households to claim a tax deduction equal to 30% of costs for all eligible energy-efficient home improvements. Those improvements include updating electrical panels, conducting home energy audits, adding insulation, installing heat pumps, as well as select biomass stoves and boilers.
- The Residential Clean Energy Credit -- This not a new credit, but it will become more generous under the new legislation. Right now, the residential clean energy credit provides about a 26% tax credit to homeowners for installing systems that use solar, wind, geothermal, biomass or fuel cell power to produce electricity, heat water or regulate the temperature in a home. The credit amount will now jump to 30% from 2022 to 2032.
The bill will also provide a rebate to low- and middle-income families who buy energy-efficient electric appliances. In order to be eligible for the rebate, a family's annual income must be less than 150% of the median income in your geographic area.
