Rate increase looming for the CT Home Energy Solutions program.
Stimulus funding is nearing depletion, meaning the HES co-pay for owners of oil and propane heated homes will increase from $75 to $300.
Green Star encourages homeowners who heat with oil or propane to book appointments now to avoid
the $225 co-pay increase. Insulation upgrade rebates are also expected to be eliminated. Note there are no HES income restrictions, so book your appointment today!

$1500 Federal Tax Credit for Energy Efficiency Improvements
The Federal Government has tax credits in place for consumers making home energy improvements, including insulation upgrades, and meeting certain requirements. For insulation, the qualifications are:
- For existing homes only
- Must be the homeowner’s principal residence
- $1,500 is the maximum total amount that can be claimed for all products placed in service in 2009 and 2010
- The primary purpose must be to insulate (example: insulated siding does not qualify).
- Installation costs for insulation are NOT covered by the tax credit.
For a quick link to the Federal Government’s Energy Star site and specifics about this tax credit go to Energy Star/Tax Credits. Please consult your tax advisor for more details. |
