A wall-mount mini-split heating and air conditioning unit installed in a new house. A modern heat pump, this unit heats a house in winter and cools in the summer. This type of system eliminates ductwork which is a primary source of inefficiency in a conventional system making this about 30% more efficient. This particular unit has an eye sensor which pans the room looking for hot or cold spots and directs the airflow accordingly.

Tax season is upon us, and while it may not be everyone’s favorite time of year, it doesn’t have to be all bad news. If you installed an air source heat pump system in your home during 2023, you could be in for a valuable tax credit!

By making the switch to energy-efficient heat pump technology, you can unlock substantial savings. Here’s how it works:

  1. Potential Savings: You can claim 30% of projects, up to $2,000, through tax credits. But that’s not all—these credits can be combined with additional credits of up to $1,200 for other eligible upgrades made within the same tax year.
  2. Eligible Systems: Whether you opt for ducted or ductless mini-split heat pump systems, ensure they meet the following criteria:
    • Ducted Systems: Your heat pump must be designated as ENERGY STAR Cold Climate with an EER2 greater than 10.
    • Ductless Systems: ENERGY STAR Cold Climate heat pumps should have SEER2 greater than 16, EER2 greater than 9, and HSPF2 greater than 9.5.
  3. Understanding the Numbers: Don’t let the technical jargon confuse you. These ratings reflect the efficiency of your heat pump. Factors like home size and existing ductwork also play a role.

Taking advantage of federal tax credits isn’t just about your wallet—it’s about creating a greener future for all. Let Universe help make your home more efficient and environmentally friendly today! Click here to schedule service.
