Federal Tax Credits for HVAC

Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, federal income tax credits for energy efficiency home improvements will be available through 2032. A broad selection of ENERGY STAR certified equipment is eligible for the tax credits. Taking advantage of tax credits, along with any available rebates, is a good way to help make the transition to a clean energy future more affordable.
