The Deadline Homeowners Need to Know: Save Big on Energy Upgrades Before 2025 Ends

Thinking about making your home more comfortable, energy-efficient, and less expensive to run? There’s never been a better, or more urgent time.


Thanks to current federal incentives, homeowners can still get up to 30% back in tax credits when upgrading their homes with things like heat pumps, insulation, or electrical panel upgrades. But here’s the catch:

Many of these savings expire at the end of 2025.


At PACE, we’re here to guide you through exactly what this means — and how to take advantage of it while you still can.


What’s Going Away?

For the last few years, the federal government has offered generous tax credits to homeowners who make energy-saving improvements to their homes.

These include:

  • Efficient heating & cooling systems like heat pumps
  • Electrical panel upgrades to support modern appliances or EV chargers
  • Insulation and air sealing to reduce energy loss
  • High-performance windows and doors


These tax credits cover up to $3,200 per year on qualifying upgrades, money back in your pocket when you file your taxes.


But due to recent changes in federal legislation, most of these credits will be reduced or eliminated after December 31, 2025.


What Kind of Work Qualifies?

PACE specializes in making homes more livable, durable, and energy-smart without unnecessary frills. That means we focus on improvements that matter:


Upgrade: Heat Pumps

Why it matters: Efficient heating & cooling in one system

Potential credit: Up to $2,000


Upgrade: Electrical Panel Upgrades

Why it matters: Prepares your home for EV chargers or modern appliances

Potential credit: Up to $600


Upgrade: Insulation & Air Sealing

Why it matters: Keeps your home comfortable and energy bills low

Potential credit: Up to $1,200


Upgrade: Energy-Efficient Windows/Doors

Why it matters: Reduces drafts and improves indoor comfort

Potential credit: Up to $600


We’ll help you understand which upgrades make the most sense for your home, your lifestyle, and your budget.


Why You Shouldn’t Wait

Even though it’s only July, now is the time to start planning.


Here’s why:

  • Installers are getting booked fast as homeowners rush to meet the deadline.
  • City permitting and inspections can take weeks, sometimes months.
  • Some upgrades must be fully installed before 2026 to qualify for credits.


Others only need to be under contract and paid by December 31, we’ll help you sort out the difference.

Waiting until fall could mean missing out altogether.
