TAP Pest Control Insulation is calling on U.S. pest management professionals (PMPs) to make their voice heard to prevent Congress from extending tax cuts by the Trump Administration that will put the 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit at risk of elimination.

As defined by the IRS, a 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit offers homeowners the opportunity to qualify for a tax credit up to $3,200, if they make qualified energy-efficient improvements to their home after Jan. 1, 2023.

Building envelope components are among the improvements that qualify, but must have an expected lifespan of at least 5 years. This includes attic insulation featuring Thermal Acoustical Pesticide (TAP) insulation, which many PMPs install in a turnkey program to help protect customers from pests.

Qualified components include new:

• Exterior doors that meet applicable Energy Star requirements.
• Exterior windows and skylights that meet Energy Star Most Efficient certification requirements.
• Insulation and air sealing materials or systems that meet International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) standards in effect as of the beginning of the calendar year that is 2 years prior to the calendar year in which such component is placed in service.

TAP Pest Control Insulation shared three steps PMPs can take to support keeping the 25C tax credit.

• Find your representative. Enter your business zip code here to locate your Congressional Representative.
• Make the call. Dial 202-224-3121 to connect with their office.
• Show support. Tell them to protect and maintain the 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit.

The company also shared key talking points to express to their representatives.

• I operate a business in your district and strongly support the 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit. I do not want Congress to weaken or eliminate it.
• The tax credit helps homeowners afford energy-efficient upgrades, which directly benefits our industry by promoting insulation improvements in existing homes.
• Please oppose any effort to weaken or remove the 25C tax credit. It benefits homeowners and businesses in your district.
