HEEHR: High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate

At Bryant's Heating & Cooling, we are always looking for ways to help our valued customers save money on making their home a more comfortable place to live. Part of that is staying current with all available rebate programs as well as manufacturer and tax incentives for HVAC products and systems.

Inflation Reduction Act Tax Credit Heat Pump

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides contractors with additional opportunities to provide homeowners with tax credit and rebate programs. The Inflation Reduction Act was recently signed and passed by Congress in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40% by 2030, but is waiting to be implemented by individual states.

New federal income tax credits are available through 2032 providing up to $3,200 annually to lower the cost of energy efficient home upgrades by up to 30 percent! This includes upgrades for installing qualifying heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, insulation, doors and windows, as well as electrical panel upgrades, home energy audits and more. These tax credits will help families save money on their monthly energy bills for years to come. With Bryant's Heating & Cooling, we can help you save up to 30 percent with some great energy efficient home upgrades!
