If you’re considering upgrading your HVAC system, 2025 may be a good time because of the Inflation Reduction Act. Also known as the IRA, the Inflation Reduction Act is a large federal legislation incentivizing clean energy. As a result, you may benefit from tax credits and rebates for upgrading your HVAC system!
Pro-tip! When adding IRA rebates for qualifying HVAC equipment to your 2025 tax return, use Durastar’s 4-digit PIN : X7W7.
Who benefits from the 2025 IRA incentives?
Specifically, homeowners replacing outdated HVAC equipment with high-efficiency heat pumps, air conditioners, furnaces, and other temperature-control systems.
How do I know if my new equipment qualifies for 2025 HVAC Inflation Reduction Act tax credits?
First and foremost, have a conversation with your HVAC contractor about IRA-qualifying equipment. Then, tour our tax credits and rebates section for a quick review of qualifications and incentives. Please note, the new equipment must be installed in your primary residence in order to qualify.
What should I look for when shopping for new HVAC equipment to get tax breaks?
In addition to discussing general needs with your HVAC contractor, there are a few things you can look out for to receive premium tax credits and rebates on your new HVAC system.
ENERGY STAR Certification
Make sure your new equipment has the ENERGY STAR certification.
Efficiency
When buying an Air Conditioner, ask your contractor about its SEER2 or EER2 rating. For Heat Pumps, efficiency is represented by HSPF2. Lastly, furnaces use AFUE percentages. Please note, both Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps must use A2L refrigerants in order to qualify. A2L offers customers a lower GWP, or global warming potential.
What is the ENERGY STAR certification?
HVAC equipment with an ENERGY STAR label is independently verified through stringent testing to meet strict efficiency standards. These standards adhere to the regulations set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, also known as the EPA.
Can I get IRA HVAC tax credits for my business?
Unfortunately, in order to qualify for 2025 IRA HVAC tax credits, the new equipment must be installed in your primary residence.
What is Durastar’s 4-digit PIN?
When filing 2025 taxes for IRA credits, you’ll need Durastar’s 4-digit PIN: X7W7.
