Rebate Overview

Overview

The 25C Mini Split Heat Pump Tax Credit is a federal tax credit that allows homeowners to claim 30% of the installation costs for qualifying heat pump systems, up to a maximum of $2,000 per year. To be eligible, the equipment must be ENERGY STAR certified and meet specific efficiency criteria. This credit applies to upgrades completed before December 31, 2025. Upgrades completed before the cutoff can be claimed as a credit using Form 5695 on 2025 tax returns (filed in early 2026).

Benefits

Upgrading to a heat pump system 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 appliances helps protect the environment by lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
