This tax credit is effective for products purchased and installed between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2032.
What Products are Eligible? (See Definitions)
For heat pumps, ENERGY STAR offers a general certification and a cold climate certification. In general, all ducted heat pumps that have earned the ENERGY STAR label are eligible, as well as certified mini-split systems (non-ducted) with SEER2 > 16, EER2 > 12 and HSPF > 9. Among the models that earn the ENERGY STAR Cold Climate designation, ducted systems with EER2 > 10 are eligible, and mini-splits with SEER2 > 16, EER2 > 9, and HSPF > 9.5 are eligible.
Annual Limits on Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credits
In addition to limits on the amount of credit you can claim for any particular equipment installation or home improvement, there are annual aggregate limits. The overall total limit for an efficiency tax credit in one year is $3,200. This breaks down to a total limit of $1,200 for any combination of home envelope improvements (windows/doors/skylights, insulation, electrical) plus furnaces, boilers and central air conditioners. Any combination of heat pumps, heat pump water heaters and biomass stoves/boilers are subject to an annual total limit of $2,000. (Note: ENERGY STAR certified geothermal heat pumps are eligible for a separate tax credit and not counted against these limits.)
