You can’t claim residential clean energy credits for expenditures made after December 31, 2025. You can’t claim energy efficient home improvement credits for expenditures or property placed in service after December 31, 2025. See  Who Can Take the Credits, later, for details.  \nFor additional information and frequently asked questions about the modification of energy efficient home improvements and residential clean energy property credits, see Fact Sheet 2025-05 at [IRS.gov/EnergyCreditFAQs](IRS.gov/EnergyCreditFAQs).  \nQualified manufacturer identification numbers. Beginning January 1, 2025, if you are claiming the energy efficient home improvement credit for specified property placed into service in 2025, you must include the four-character alphanumeric unique qualified manufacturer identification number (QMID) for each item.  \nEnabling property. A new line was added to document the required relationship between enabling property and enabled property.  \nCondominium or cooperative owners with fractional shares of credits. A new checkbox was added to show you live in a condominium or cooperative and have a fractional share of the qualified energy efficiency improvements or residential energy property expenditures.  \nReminders  \nResidential clean energy credit. The residential energy efficient property credit is now the residential clean energy credit. The credit rate for property placed in service in 2022 through 2025 is 30% .  \nEnergy efficient home improvement credit. The nonbusiness energy property credit is now the energy efficient home improvement credit. The credit is allowed for property placed in service through December 31, 2025.  \nThe energy efficient home improvement credit instructions are now divided into two sections to differentiate between qualified energy efficiency improvements and residential energy property expenditures.  \nFor the energy efficient home improvement credit, the lifetime limitation has been replaced by an annual credit limit. A 30% credit, up to a maximum of $1,200, may be allowed for:  \n• Insulation material or air sealing material or systems;  \n• Exterior doors;  \n• Windows and skylights;  \n• Central air conditioners;  \n• Natural gas, propane or oil water heaters;  \n• Natural gas, propane or oil furnaces or hot water boilers;  \n• Improvements to or replacement of panelboards, subpanelboards, branch circuits, or feeders; and  \n• Home energy audits.  \nThe limits for each category of these items that qualify for a credit is discussed later in Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Part II) .  \nHeat pumps and heat pump water heaters, biomass stoves and biomass boilers have a separate annual credit limit of $2,000 with no lifetime limitation, which replaces the prior lifetime limitation of $500.  \nHome energy audits. Beginning January 1, 2024, home energy audits must be performed by a Qualified Home Energy Auditor or under the supervision of a Qualified Home Energy Auditor. The Qualified Home Energy Auditor must be certified by a Qualified Certification Program at the time of the home energy audit.
