The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 created major energy incentives for homeowners. However, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (2025) eliminated most IRA residential credits. This guide covers what was available and what exceptions may still apply. Always verify with a tax professional.*

The IRA created significant tax credits — but federal eligibility changed in 2025. Below is a reference guide. Consult a tax advisor for current applicability.*
The 25C credits have a $1,200 annual aggregate cap (plus a separate $2,000 cap for heat pumps). Smart homeowners phase their improvements across multiple tax years to maximize total credits. For example: heat pump in year 1 ($2,000 credit) + insulation and windows in year 2 ($1,200 credit) + heat pump water heater in year 3 ($600 credit).
The High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act (HEEHRA), part of the IRA, provides point-of-sale rebates of up to $8,000 for heat pumps and $1,750 for heat pump water heaters for households earning up to 150% of area median income. Unlike tax credits, these are instant discounts at purchase — no tax liability required.
IRA federal credits can generally be combined with state incentives, utility rebates, and local programs. California, Massachusetts, New York, Colorado, and Minnesota have among the most generous state programs.

The IRA is a federal law signed in August 2022 that allocated $369 billion toward clean energy and climate incentives over 10 years. For homeowners, it expanded energy tax credits and created rebate programs. Note: the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (2025) eliminated most IRA residential credits. Some exceptions may apply.
Federal eligibility changed significantly in 2025. Some solar installations (25D) may still qualify depending on timing and situation. State-level programs vary and may still offer rebates. HomeShark identifies what may be available for your home — verify with a qualified tax professional for current eligibility.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), enacted in 2025, eliminated most IRA residential energy tax credits including the 25C (heat pump, insulation), 30C (EV charger), and most 25D (solar) credits. Limited exceptions exist. Consult a qualified tax professional to understand your specific situation.
The primary homeowner credits (25C, 25D, 30C) are non-refundable — they reduce your tax liability but can't generate a refund beyond what you owe. However, unused credits carry forward to future years. The HEEHRA low-income rebates are point-of-sale (no tax liability required).
Under the original IRA, 25C, 25D, and 30C were separate credits claimable in the same tax year. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (2025) curtailed most of these credits. Whether multiple credits can still be claimed depends on your specific situation, project timing, and applicable exceptions. Consult a qualified tax professional.
