If you installed a heat pump in 2022, it is eligible for the old 25C tax credit, or 10 percent of costs up to $300.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a closer look at heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) products and eligibility requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All ducted air-source heat pumps with the ENERGY STAR&reg; label qualify.<\/li>\n<li>Split air conditioner systems must have a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating 2 (SEER2) of 16 or more. All packaged systems with ENERGY STAR certification are eligible.<\/li>\n<li>Gas furnaces must have an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating of at least 97 percent.<\/li>\n<li>Gas boilers with an AFUE of at least 95 percent qualify.<\/li>\n<li>Oil-fueled boilers and furnaces must be capable of using fuel blends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>HVAC Rebates<\/h4>\n<p>The Inflation Reduction Act set aside a $4.3 billion budget, with the money allocated to individual states for disbursement. Funding will vary from state to state, and eligibility is income based.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act (HEEHRA) covers 100 percent of electrification project costs (up to $14,000) for low-income households and 50 percent of costs (up to $14,000) for moderate-income households.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how some of those rebates would work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$8,000 for a heat pump for space heating<\/li>\n<li>$4,000 for an upgraded breaker box<\/li>\n<li>$2,500 for upgraded electric wiring<\/li>\n<li>$1,750 for a heat pump water heater<\/li>\n<li>$1,600 for insulation, air sealing, and ventilation<\/li>\n<li>$840 for an electric stove, cooktop range, or oven<\/li>\n<li>$840 for an electric clothes dryer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The rebate program is not available to all households.<\/strong> Because the funds are being allocated to state offices, and each state gets to decide to a certain degree how to distribute the money, it will take some time to implement the rebate program. Nor are the rebates retroactive to 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The tax credits, in contrast, are in place right now and will continue to be for the next decade.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Buy Now and Save<\/h3>\n<p>Up-front costs are typically the biggest obstacle to upgrading your heating and cooling system.
