Vermonters: Join this webinar to learn about using home energy tax credits before they expire this year
WINOOSKI, VT
Vermont Law and Graduate School partners with Efficiency Vermont to explain soon-to-expire home energy tax credits and other ways to save
WINOOSKI, VT—Federal tax credits promising significant savings for home energy investments will expire at the end of the year. That’s why Efficiency Vermont is partnering with Vermont Law and Graduate School to offer a free public webinar explaining what homeowners need to know about these tax breaks while they are available.
The webinar will also provide information on rebates from Efficiency Vermont—which are not expiring—that can be stacked with the tax credits for even more savings.
“These home energy tax credits are an important way for households to get extra help for investing in their home,” said Jenny L. Carter, a professor and senior attorney with Vermont Law and Graduate School’s Institute for Energy and the Environment. “We want to help Vermont homeowners understand what’s feasible in the months ahead before these tax breaks expire.”
The federal tax credits promise hundreds—in some cases thousands—of dollars for projects like home energy audits, weatherization upgrades, and new heating systems like heat pumps. But all projects must be completed by Dec. 31, 2025, to be eligible for the tax credit.
“Tax credits are just one way to reduce the cost of home energy improvements—and the good news is Efficiency Vermont’s rebates aren’t going anywhere,” said Peter Walke, Efficiency Vermont’s managing director. “This webinar will help Vermonters understand the tax credits, rebates, and utility incentives they can use to help lower their energy bills. And ways to save whether they use the tax credits or not.”
