Big Savings for a Cooler Home: Don't Miss Out on HVAC Tax Credits with Gone Coastal Plumbing and Air!
Is your old HVAC system struggling to keep up with the summer heat or winter chill? Thinking about upgrading to something more energy-efficient? Now is a fantastic time to make that move, thanks to some sweet federal tax credits that can put money back in your pocket – and Gone Coastal Plumbing and Air is here to help you navigate it all!
The government wants to encourage homeowners to make their houses more energy-efficient, which is great for your wallet and the planet. That's why they offer tax credits for certain home improvements, including a brand-new, energy-efficient HVAC system.
What's the Deal with These Credits?
The main tax credit you'll be looking at is the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. Here's the lowdown:
- How much can you save? You can get a tax credit for 30% of the cost of your new, qualified HVAC system.
- What are the limits?
- For highly efficient systems like heat pumps, you could get up to $2,000 per year! This is a big one, as heat pumps are excellent for both heating and cooling your home efficiently.
- For other qualified energy-efficient equipment like central air conditioners or furnaces, the credit is capped at $600 per item, with an overall annual limit of $1,200 for most energy-efficient home improvements (excluding heat pumps, which have their own higher limit).
- When can you claim it? You can claim this credit for improvements made between 2023 and 2025.
- What kind of systems qualify? To be eligible, your new HVAC system generally needs to meet certain energy efficiency standards, often indicated by an ENERGY STAR® certification or by meeting specific efficiency tiers set by organizations like the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE). Our experts at Gone Coastal Plumbing and Air can help you confirm if a particular model qualifies.
- Is it just the equipment? Good news! The credit generally covers not just the cost of the qualified equipment, but also the labor costs for its installation.
- Important Note: This is a nonrefundable tax credit. This means it can reduce the amount of tax you owe down to zero, but you won't get any money back as a refund if the credit amount is more than your tax liability.
