Save Big with Tint Revolution:

Back to Blog Posts

Looking to make your home more energy-efficient while keeping some extra cash in your pocket? Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners can now take advantage of significant tax savings when installing energy-efficient window films. This exciting update offers an opportunity to enhance your home’s comfort, reduce energy costs, and enjoy long-term savings—all while contributing to a more sustainable future.

What’s New in the Window Film Tax Credit?

The Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit, revamped as of January 1, 2023, brings expanded benefits for energy-saving home improvements, including window films. This updated tax credit now offers 30% savings on eligible costs and has been extended through 2032.

Here’s why this is great news:

  • Increased tax credit: The previous $500 lifetime limit has been replaced with a new $1,200 annual limit.
  • Long-term savings: By spreading out qualifying upgrades over multiple years, you can maximize your tax benefits annually through 2032.
  • Eco-friendly benefits: Energy-efficient window films reduce heating and cooling costs, improve home comfort, and support sustainability goals.

What Does the Tax Credit Cover?

The 30% tax credit applies to the cost of installing eligible energy-efficient window films that meet certain criteria. By working with professional installers like Tint Revolution, you can retrofit your home with films designed to reduce energy usage, block heat, and enhance comfort—all without the need for major renovations.

Why Window Films Are a Smart Investment

Energy-efficient window films aren’t just about tax savings—they offer real, tangible benefits for homeowners:

  • Lower utility bills: Films help reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, cutting your energy usage.
  • Improved comfort: Enjoy more consistent indoor temperatures and reduced glare, making your home more enjoyable year-round.
  • Cost-effective solution: Unlike replacing windows, window films are a quick, affordable retrofit that requires minimal disruption to your daily life.

How to Take Advantage of the Tax Credit

To claim your window film tax credit, you’ll need to include it on your 2024 tax filing using IRS Form 5695. Be sure to:

  1. Save your receipts and proof of purchase for the window films and installation.
  2. Consult with your tax professional or refer to the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit guidelines on the IRS website.
