Generally, no you cannot, but it depends on the type of reimbursement, how it is treated and how much it covered of your total cost.
If you received a reimbursement or grant from the state or county for insulating your home, if it did NOT cover the full cost, then you can include the part of the cost that was NOT covered by the county grant.
If the entire cost of your home insulation was covered by another organization, then you cannot claim the credit as this would be like double dipping. In order to claim the credit, you must actually pay the expense. If you were already reimbursed for the entire cost, the organization that reimbursed you actually paid the expense.
An exception to this would be if you received a 1099-G for the reimbursement. Then this would be included in your taxable income and then you would be able to claim the credit as you would have in a sense paid for it through income that is included on your return.
