Heating and cooling your home can be costly over time. You need both a furnace and an air conditioner, and you’re at the mercy of fuel costs to keep your place comfortable. Over time, the bills can add up.
Fortunately, heat pumps are great tools for heating and cooling with one system. These units use minimal electricity to move heat from one location to another, and they offer heating and cooling from a single unit.
Heat pumps are very efficient and qualify for California tax credits. If you install a new heat pump before the end of 2025, you could see a tax credit of up to $8,000. These discounts and energy efficiency can save you a lot of money over the years of heat pump use.
How Do California Heat Pump Tax Credits Work?
In November 2014, California announced that it was starting the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEEHRA) program. This program is designed to incentivize homeowners to upgrade to more energy-efficient and eco-friendly systems statewide, reducing the state’s overall carbon output.
The program provides a tax credit of up to $8,000 for those whose household incomes are below 80% of the area median income (AMI) and up to $4,000 for those whose household incomes are between 80% and 150% of the AMI.
In addition to these rebates, other federal programs offer incentives for switching to eco-friendly HVAC units. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provides tax incentives for installing systems such as heat pumps. These rebates can be combined to create more savings for homeowners who want to switch to a heat pump for their heating and cooling.
