Federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C)
Upgrade Your Comfort & Lower Your Tax Bill
Under the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners in the Venice area can now claim significant tax credits for installing high-efficiency heating and cooling systems. At Royal Air Conditioning, Inc., we install qualifying systems that help you stay comfortable while putting money back in your pocket.
How Much Can You Save?
The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) allows you to claim 30% of the project cost, subject to annual limits based on the type of equipment:
Equipment Type | Max Annual Tax Credit |
Electric or Natural Gas Heat Pumps | $2,000 |
High-Efficiency Central Air Conditioning | $600 |
High-Efficiency Gas Furnaces | $600 |
Electrical Panel Upgrades (if required for HVAC) | $600 |
Pro Tip: Because these are annual limits, you can potentially claim the credit multiple years in a row if you space out your home improvements (e.g., AC this year, Heat Pump Water Heater next year).
