Koala Insulation is an Energy Star Partner: Why Should I Care?

What is Energy Star?  Energy Star is a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy that promotes energy efficiency. For home improvement projects that qualify, the U.S. Federal Government provides energy rebates in the form of reduced income taxes.

Most well documented improvements a homeowner makes to his or her own home can earn Energy Star credits. Updating HVAC systems, water heaters or home insulation reduces a home’s energy consumption and earns Energy Star credits of 10% of the cost up to $500. The way a homeowner claims the credits is by completing IRS form 5695, and submitting it at tax time along with proof of payment to an insulation installer such as Koala Insulation of Dallas. As Koala Insulation is a certified Energy Star partner, tax credits may be easily processed and applied to annual income tax filings.

For more information about how to make your home more efficient and how to get tax credit for energy efficiency improvements, refer to the Energy Star website.
