Frequently asked questions

Is HomeShark really free?

Yes, completely free — no credit card, no account. We earn a small referral fee when you request quotes from installers, but you never pay anything.

What federal energy tax credits are still available in 2026?

Federal credit availability changed significantly in 2025. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act eliminated most IRA residential energy credits. Exceptions may apply for active solar installations, in-progress projects, and certain situations. Some state rebate programs remain active independently. Consult a tax professional to verify your eligibility.

Do I need to upload a utility bill?

No — it's optional. Uploading a bill makes your report about 3× more accurate because our AI reads your exact kWh usage and rate. Without it, we estimate based on your property data.

Is my address and energy data private?

Yes. We use your address only to pull publicly available property data. Your utility bill data is processed by AI and never stored after analysis. We do not sell your personal data.

How did the One Big Beautiful Bill Act affect energy credits?

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), enacted in 2025, eliminated or curtailed most IRA residential energy tax credits. Exceptions include certain in-progress solar projects, leased systems, and commercial properties. State programs vary. HomeShark identifies what may still apply — verify with a qualified tax advisor.

How do the free installer quotes work?

When you request quotes, HomeShark matches you with up to 4 vetted local installers per service category. They contact you directly — typically within 24 hours — with competitive estimates. No obligation.

What is a home energy audit — and why does it matter in 2025?

A home energy audit is a systematic review of how your home uses energy — and where it wastes it. Traditionally, a professional auditor would visit your home, inspect insulation, test for air leaks, and analyze your utility history. The cost: $300–$800 and a half-day of your time.

HomeShark replicates most of that analysis in minutes using publicly available property records, satellite imagery, utility data, and machine learning trained on millions of home energy profiles.

Energy incentives: what may still apply in 2026

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 created significant energy incentives — but credit availability changed in 2025 when the One Big Beautiful Bill Act eliminated most IRA residential credits. Some exceptions remain, and state-level programs continue independently. Use HomeShark to see what may apply to your home.

Solar: the highest-ROI home upgrade of the decade

For many homeowners, rooftop solar remains a strong long-term investment due to rising electricity rates — even as federal credit availability has shifted. Payback periods vary by location and system. HomeShark estimates your solar potential based on your roof's actual size and sun exposure.
