Frequently asked questions

Is HomeShark really free?

Yes, completely free — no credit card, no account. We earn a small referral fee when you request quotes from installers, but you never pay anything.

What federal energy tax credits are still available in 2026?

None of the main homeowner credits. The solar credit (25D) and the home improvement credit (25C) ended for projects installed after December 31, 2025, and the EV charger credit (30C) ended after June 30, 2026. Solar leases and power purchase agreements can still carry a commercial credit through the installer for a limited time. State, utility and income-qualified rebate programs continue, and your report lists the ones we know of for your state.

Do I need to upload a utility bill?

No — it's optional. Uploading a bill makes your report about 3× more accurate because our AI reads your exact kWh usage and rate. Without it, we estimate based on your property data.

Is my address and energy data private?

Yes. We use your address only to pull publicly available property data. Your utility bill data is processed by AI and never stored after analysis. We do not sell your personal data.

How did the 2025 tax law affect energy credits?

The law signed July 4, 2025 (Public Law 119-21) ended the residential solar credit (25D) and the energy efficient home improvement credit (25C) for projects installed after December 31, 2025, and the EV charger credit (30C) after June 30, 2026. Projects completed before those dates can still be claimed on that year's return. The Home Energy Rebate programs run by states were not repealed.

How do the free installer quotes work?

When you request quotes, HomeShark matches you with up to 4 vetted local installers per service category. They contact you directly — typically within 24 hours — with competitive estimates. No obligation.

What is a home energy audit — and why does it matter in 2025?

A home energy audit is a systematic review of how your home uses energy — and where it wastes it. Traditionally, a professional auditor would visit your home, inspect insulation, test for air leaks, and analyze your utility history. The cost: $300–$800 and a half-day of your time.

HomeShark replicates most of that analysis in minutes using publicly available property records, satellite imagery, utility data, and machine learning trained on millions of home energy profiles.

Energy incentives: what may still apply in 2026

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 created federal tax credits for solar, heat pumps, insulation and EV chargers. The 2025 tax law ended them: the solar and home improvement credits for projects installed after December 31, 2025, and the EV charger credit after June 30, 2026. State and utility rebates and the state-run Home Energy Rebates continue, and HomeShark shows the ones we know of for your state.

Solar: the highest-ROI home upgrade of the decade

For many homeowners, rooftop solar can still be a strong long-term investment due to rising electricity rates, even without the federal solar credit. Payback periods vary by location and system. HomeShark estimates your solar potential based on your roof's actual size and sun exposure.
