No, as under the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit, the federal tax credit in 2018 is only available for installing alternative energy equipment, such as solar electric property, solar water heaters, geothermal heat pumps, small wind turbines, and fuel cell property.

In previous years, there was a federal $500 Non-business Energy Property Tax Credit, but this credit is currently expired for tax year 2018. This credit covered energy-efficient improvements like windows, doors, skylights, insulation, roofing products, non-solar water heaters, heating, ventilating, and cooling systems.
