The Youngstown-based exterior contractor owner wants homeowners to save twice—with energy efficiency and a tax break.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sam Boak, owner and president of Boak & Sons, Inc., is encouraging homeowners to take advantage of the federal energy efficiency tax credit by upgrading their home insulation before December 31, 2025. As a trusted name in insulation services throughout Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, Boak & Sons helps homeowners increase energy efficiency while benefiting from available savings.
The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit offers a 30 percent tax credit on qualified expenses, including insulation materials that meet the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) standards. Homeowners can receive up to $1,200 per year in credits for energy-saving upgrades like insulation and air sealing, with no lifetime limit through 2025.
"Upgrading your insulation is one of the smartest home improvements you can make," said Sam Boak. "Not only does it reduce energy bills and improve comfort, but now you can earn a tax credit for doing it. We want to help our customers save money up front and at tax time."
Boak & Sons specializes in professional residential insulation installations using high-quality, code-compliant materials. Insulation types include fiberglass blown-in, fiberglass BATT, attic insulation, retrofit insulation, and foam insulation. While labor costs are not eligible for the credit, the insulation materials themselves may qualify if they meet the applicable energy codes. By acting before the December 2025 deadline, homeowners can complete their upgrade and claim the full benefit for that tax year.
The credit is nonrefundable, meaning it applies toward taxes owed but cannot be carried over to future years. It is available only for improvements made to a primary residence in the United States. Homeowners can claim the credit annually if they continue making qualifying improvements.
With colder months just around the corner, Sam Boak and his team are urging residents to act soon. Not only will proper insulation keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, but it can also lead to substantial savings both on monthly energy bills and on federal taxes.
