If I am reading this correctly, the tax credit being offered for insulating your home is requiring an R value of 19. That seems high for Wisconsin. I am insulating a basement that will be finished space and am wondering what is the best way to get to the required R 19?
To my knowledge, there is no requirement for specific R-values.
To my knowledge, there is no requirement for specific R-values to qualify for federal tax credits. To learn the details regarding federal tax credits, I would suggest visiting the ENERGY STAR (R) Web site or the Tax Incentives Assistant Project Web site. These Web sites have information that consumers and businesses need to make use of the federal income tax incentives for energy efficient products and technologies.
Please visit focusonenergy.com/incentives for the latest incentives and requirements, as Focus offers are subject to change.
