Federal & State Incentives For Adding Home Insulation

Missouri homeowners have incentives to upgrade the insulation in their homes adding to the savings that can be achieved on monthly energy bills.

Federal Tax Credit

Once again, the U.S. Congress retroactively extended the tax credit for insulation through December 31, 2021. Homeowners adding or updating insulation in their primary homes can save up to $500 on their federal income tax. See program detail.

State & Local Incentives

Missouri also offers energy saving incentives to homeowners. There are several opportunities including:
