Tax Credits & Utility Rebates

Federal Tax Credits

Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit

Beginning January 1, 2023, the amount of the credit is equal to 30% of the sum of amounts paid by the taxpayer for certain qualified expenditures, including (1) qualified energy efficiency improvements installed during the year, (2) residential energy property expenditures during the year, and (3) home energy audits during the year. There are limits on the allowable annual credit and on the amount of credit for certain types of qualified expenditures (see Q 1 and 2 below). The credit is allowed for qualifying property placed in service on or after January 1, 2023, and before January 1, 2033.

Heat pumps

Heat pumps qualify for a tax rebate of 30% of the project cost, with a $2,000 annual cap. Note, this is a tax credit and does not provide a benefit if you are retired and/or do not have income. The tax credit applies to air source heat pumps (a regular heat pump) and heat pump water heaters.

Other appliances

The rebate for other household items has a lower annual cap. This rebate covers 30% of costs, up to $600 for each item. Below is a list of qualifying items.

Central air conditioners
Natural gas, propane, or oil water heaters
Natural gas, propane, or oil furnaces and hot water boilers
Improvements to or replacements of panelboards, sub-panelboards, branch circuits, or feeders that are
installed along with building envelope components or other energy property listed in these FAQs and
enable its installation and use.

Tax Credit Requirements

All items must meet minimum efficiency standards. While the vast majority of items we sell and install meet the criteria, it’s important to verify the specific model number. Our quote should indicate whether your equipment meets the standard. The AHRI website maintains the current list of approved equipment.
