Insulation Tax Credit Eligible Spray Foam & Sealants

Deadline Approaching! The 25C tax credit ends December 31, 2025.

Spray Foam & Sealants Eligible for the Home Improvement Tax Credit

Energy-saving spray foam insulation can now deliver two wins at once: lower utility bills and a federal incentive. Every item in this collection meets IRS requirements for the insulation tax credit, a home improvement tax credit that covers up to 30% of qualifying material costs (maximum $1,200 each year). By combining airtight performance with financial relief, these products help reduce overall insulation cost while unlocking valuable tax breaks for homeowners.

Key Benefits

  • Immediate Energy and Tax Savings: Closed-cell and open-cell foams, gap fillers, and specialty sealants cut heat loss, and the tax credit for insulation offers a dollar-for-dollar reduction at filing time.
  • Lower net project outlay: After federal support and local rebates are applied, premium foam solutions often install for less than traditional batts or blankets.
  • Code-Verified Reliability: Every SKU carries certification for attics, walls, rim joists, crawl spaces, and garages, meeting or exceeding International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) standards applicable to the tax year of installation.
  • DIY-friendly packaging: Kits expand, seal, and cure rapidly, allowing weekend completion without special licensing.

Products That Qualify

  • Closed - Cell Foam Kits with high R-value per inch
  • Class A Fire-Rated Foams for walls, ceilings, and attached garages
  • Gap & Crack Fillers for windows, doors, and plumbing penetrations
  • Low-Expansion and High-Temperature Sealants for delicate frames or hot zones

Claiming the Credit

  • Purchase and install an eligible product in a primary U.S. residence by December 31, 2025.
  • Retain receipts and manufacturer certifications to document eligibility for homeowner tax deductions and credits.
  • File IRS Form 5695 to secure tax credits under Section 25C.
  • Stack incentives where available: State or utility rebates can layer onto the federal home renovation tax credit, driving insulation cost even lower.
  • Consult a qualified advisor for tailored guidance on how tax deductions work in a specific situation.
  • Important Cost Note: For insulation and air sealing materials, only the cost of the product itself qualifies for the tax credit. Installation labor costs are explicitly excluded by the IRS for this category of improvements.
