As the weather warms up, many homeowners start thinking about ways to keep their homes cooler and more energy-efficient. At Louisiana Roof Crafters, we know that spring and summer are peak seasons for home improvement projects like attic insulation, skylights, patios, and gutters—but did you know that some of these upgrades could actually put money back in your pocket?
If you’re considering home upgrades this season, skylights and attic insulation are two improvements that offer a double benefit:
- Increased energy efficiency and comfort
- A 30% federal tax credit—up to $1,200 back for qualifying upgrades!
Why Skylights? Natural Light + Fresh Air + Savings
Adding skylights to your home is more than just a design upgrade—it’s an investment in your utility savings, your home’s overall value, and the quality of your living space. And with the right product, it can actually pay for itself over time.
- Solar-powered skylights & blinds qualify for a federal tax credit
- Solar fresh air skylights allow ventilation, reducing heat buildup
- Natural light enhances your home’s look & feel while cutting electricity costs
With these energy-efficient upgrades, you get a brighter home and bigger savings.
Blown-In Attic Insulation: The Smartest Way to Stay Cool
Your attic plays a huge role in your home’s energy efficiency. Blown-in insulation is one of the best ways to prevent heat buildup in summer, keeping your home cooler and your energy bills lower.
Blown-in insulation:
- Stops heat from seeping into your home during hot months
- Reduces strain on your A/C unit, leading to lower energy costs
- Qualifies for the 30% federal tax credit, just like skylights
This means you can invest in comfort, lower your utility bills, and get money back on your taxes—a true win-win-win.
Maximize Your Savings: How the Federal Tax Credit Works
The Energy Star Federal Tax Credit allows homeowners to claim 30% of their costs (up to $1,200 per year) for qualifying home improvements like solar skylights, solar blinds, and blown-in insulation.
Even better? If you make multiple qualifying improvements, you can claim up to $3,200 annually!
