Homeowner Incentives

At Koala Insulation, our goal has always been simple: help homeowners create more comfortable, energy-efficient homes while reducing energy costs and saving money. Over the past few years, federal and state programs have made incentives available to help homeowners offset the cost of insulation upgrades.

While some programs have ended like the Inflation Reduction Act, many homeowners can still file for past credits, and state-specific rebates may still be available.

Learn which incentives were available, how to file if you qualify, and where to find state and local rebates.

HOMES Rebate Program (State-Administered)

The HOMES Rebate Program offered incentives to homeowners who reduced their home’s overall energy use through efficiency improvements, including insulation upgrades.

Key things to know:

  • Rebates were based on measured or modeled energy savings
  • A minimum 20% energy reduction was typically required
  • Programs were run by individual states, not the federal government
Because this program was administered at the state level, availability, timelines, and filing requirements varied widely.

High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program

This program provided additional incentives for energy-efficient home upgrades and was also administered by individual states. Insulation improvements often played an important role in qualifying projects.

Rebate amounts were based on:
  • Overall project cost
  • Energy savings achieved
  • State-specific program guidelines
Some states continue to offer rebates through updated or modified programs.

How to Find State-Specific Rebates

State and local rebates change frequently and may still be available even after federal programs end.

To find rebates in your area:

1. Visit the Energy Star Rebate Finder
2. Check your state energy office website
3. Review local utility company efficiency programs
4. Confirm eligibility requirements and available funding
Koala Insulation is always happy to point homeowners toward trusted resources, but final eligibility is determined by the program administrator.

How Koala Insulation Supports You

While Koala Insulation does not file rebates or tax credits on your behalf, we support homeowners by:
  • Providing clear invoices and documentation
  • Explaining which insulation upgrades previously qualified for incentives
  • Helping you understand what paperwork may be needed
  • Directing you to reliable federal and state resources

Our goal is to make the process clearer and less overwhelming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still file for a tax credit if my insulation was installed in 2025?

Yes, homeowners may still be able to file for qualifying credits when completing their federal tax return.

How do I know if my state still offers rebates?

State energy offices, utility providers, and Energy Star’s rebate finder are the best places to check current availability.

Is the filing process complicated?

Federal tax credits typically require IRS Form 5695 and proper documentation. State rebates vary by program.

Can incentives be combined?

In some cases, homeowners were able to combine federal credits with state or utility rebates, depending on program rules.
