If you’re looking to improve your home’s energy efficiency with new insulation or by air sealing your home, this is the time to do it. There are several energy rebate programs available to Ohio residents and a federal tax credit you can take advantage of.
You’ll save on installation with these programs and you’ll also likely see a decrease in your monthly energy costs.
Energy Rebates & Tax Credits for Your Home
Energy tax credits and rebates are available to Ohio homeowners both locally and federally. Each has its own eligibility requirements, maximum incentive and guidelines for applying.
The Inflation Reduction Act
An insulation federal tax credit is available to homeowners across the country as a part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. You can claim 30% of the product cost with a maximum credit of $1,200.
The following insulation and air sealing products are eligible, assuming they have a Manufacturer’s Certification Statement and are purchased and installed between Jan. 1, 2023, and Dec. 31, 2032:
- Bulk insulation, including batts, rolls, blown-in, rigid board, expanding spray and pour-in-place
- Weatherstripping
- Spray foam designed to air-seal
- Caulk designed to air-seal

Start Saving With Insulation Installation
Over time, a home’s insulation can compress and become less effective. When this happens, your home becomes less efficient, your energy bills rise, and you may even notice drafty, uncomfortable areas in your home. That’s when you know it’s time to re-insulate your home.
This ensures your home is as energy-efficient as possible for lower energy costs and less strain on your HVAC system. Re-insulating your home can also improve your property value.
