Choosing the right home comfort system can seem tough. There are more brands and features to choose from than ever. But one thing that can make the search more difficult is cost. Many people worry quality systems are too expensive for their budget.

But there are several tax credits available for certain HVAC equipment. Selecting one with manufacturer and local utility rebates can lower costs of even the best makes and models.

What HVAC Equipment Qualifies for Tax Credits?

It’s important to know that not every HVAC system qualifies for a federal tax credit. In general, they are limited to high-efficiency systems. A high-efficiency designation can be for a furnace, air conditioner, ductless mini-split or heat pump. They can be more expensive than other options but make up for it over time with lower energy bills.

Some available HVAC tax credits include:

HVAC Tax Credits

A residential HVAC tax credit for cooling equipment can cover up to 10% of your total installation costs. Some restrictions will apply, including the cost of the system itself. This plan is offered as part of a larger incentive for home improvement. Making enough improvements past a dollar amount threshold will remove the tax credit eligibility.

This is a similar credit for high-efficiency Lennox® furnaces and ductless mini-split systems. Remember that exceeding certain costs will make you unable to use these tax credits.

Renewable Energy Tax Credits

Federal tax credits are also available for the energy you use. Using renewable energy sources like solar are eligible for energy rebates. These credits are also available for equipment like geothermal heat pumps. The amount you can receive back is proportionate to when the equipment was installed. Older models may be eligible for higher rates of the energy tax credit.
