Rebate Overview
Overview
The Inflation Reduction Act offers a tax credit for installing mini-split heat pumps, covering 30% of the project cost, up to $2,000 per year. This credit applies to heat pump water heaters and heat pumps. Upgrades completed in 2025 and claimed on your 2025 tax return (filed in early 2026) should be safe. The Trump administration has indicated a desire to repeal parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, which may eliminate this tax credit starting with the 2026 tax year. QuitCarbon is monitoring this closely and will update this guidance as changes become clear.
Benefits
Upgrading to a mini-split heat pump can make your home more comfortable by providing efficient heating and cooling. It can also increase your home's value and reduce your energy bills. Additionally, using energy-efficient systems helps reduce pollution from gas appliances, benefiting the environment.
