For a lot of families, there typically seems to be a lengthy list of home to-do’s that they need to get done or new ideas they’d like to try. While several may not be necessities, buying a new heat pump is a job that could be vital to keeping your home comfortable during the chillier months in Middletown.

Buying a new heat pump is a sizeable investment. You’ll certainly realize the return on investment on your indoor comfort as well as your utility costs, but it might be a tad intimidating at first. The good news is that when you pick a new energy-efficient heat pump, you may be eligible for a federal tax credit.

According to ENERGY STAR®, the Non-Business Energy Property Tax Credits were prolonged through December 31, 2020. In order to obtain the tax credit, you must buy a heat pump that has gotten the ENERGY STAR label. When shopping for heat pumps, look for products with the ENERGY STAR rating so you can be confident you’re getting a high-efficiency heat pump.

At Advanced Service AC & Heating, our experts help you choose a solution that matches your needs and helps you qualify for this tax credit. While ENERGY STAR products designate high efficiency, you should confirm the heat pump you buy has the following requirements.

For Split Systems:

  • Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF): 8.5 or higher
  • Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER): 12.5 or higher
  • Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER): 15 or higher

For Package Systems:

  • HSPF: 8 or higher
  • EER: 12 or higher
  • SEER: 14 or higher

Taking advantage of this opportunity won’t be the only savings you’ll receive when you get a new high-efficiency heat pump. Some of the most efficient solutions can save you hundreds of dollars on your energy bills throughout the year. And the family will also have greater confidence in your HVAC system to keep your house at just the right comfort level.
