Energy Efficient Tax Credit: A Brief Overview

The US government offers homeowners excellent tax incentives for installing energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. The prime objective of this tax credit is to encourage homeowners to upgrade their HVAC systems to save money and power in the long run.

If you’re living in the United States, you can claim a federal tax credit of up to $300 for installing a new HVAC system that meets energy-efficient requirements. Eligible HVAC systems include air conditioners, heat pumps, and hot water boilers that generate at least 90% of their heat output from electricity.

Energy-efficient HVAC tax credits can significantly reduce the cost of upgrading to more energy-efficient HVAC units and encourage homeowners to take immediate action.

Benefits of Energy-Efficient HVAC System

Along with qualifying for excellent tax incentives, you can enjoy the additional benefits of installing an energy-efficient HVAC unit. For example:

  I engaged Diamond Air Design to replace two heat pump systems at my residence.  From my initial contact to the completion of the project, I received nothing but the highest level of professional service.  Brandon and his installation team did meticulous work, completing the project on time and exactly as promised.  Diamond Air is a family-owned business with a sterling reputation.  From my experience I understand exactly how they attained and why they deserve that reputation.  Highly recommended.

  This is one of the 3 companies I had out to my house.  I’m very happy Diamond Air was one I contacted.  They offered exactly what I needed, did not upsell me and were right on target on what would solve my issue.  Preston, my Service Tech, was ready to answer my questions, was super knowledgeable, professional and just a charm beaming with honesty, kindness and all I could pray for in a service tech.  You will not be disappointed putting your A/C equipment in their hands!  Thank you Diamond Air Team! You have my business.

  I had an American Standard Platinum HVAC System installed.  Brandon, Stewart, and Preston did the install work.  They were scheduled to start at 8:00 am.  Stewart arrived at 7:45 am and immediately went to work.  Brandon and Preston arrived at 8:00 am with the new HVAC System.  I  tried to offer them drinks and something to eat but they were more concerned with completing the job.  The crew was absolutely fantastic.  They completed the install work in about 7 hours.  They never stopped working until the job was completely finished.  They did an outstanding job installing the new system.  The company even filed my warranty paper work for me.  I had to do nothing but sit back at let them do all the work, from the install, warranty registration, and setting up the county inspection.  They even provided financing for 0% interest rate for 60 months.  I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Daimond Air Design for HVAC System Replacement!!!
