Idaho law now enables taxpaying homeowners to deduct from taxable income the costs of installing insulation in their residences. The deduction extends to installation of weatherstripping, double pane windows and storm doors. 1 The law also includes deductions for installation of alternative energy devices — solar, geothermal, wind, etc. — in your own residence. Check with your accountant or attorney for details on eligibility and potential tax savings. If you need information on how to go about insulating your home, call your local Idaho Power office and talk to an Energy Adviser. He or she will be glad to help you at no charge. 4 Idaho Power Company WISE USE IS COMMON SENSE 9 • Youth group. Fun For All Young People.
