For many households, there typically seems to be a long list of home to-do’s that they need to achieve or new ideas they’d like to do. While several may not be necessary, buying a new heat pump is a project that could be key to keeping your house comfortable during the colder months in Bryan.

Selecting a new heat pump is a great investment. You’ll certainly realize the return on investment on your indoor comfort in addition to your utility costs, but it may be a tad intimidating at first. The good news is that when you pick a new energy-efficient heat pump, you might be approved 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 get the tax credit, you must select 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 sure you’re choosing a high-efficiency heat pump.

At Superior Air Repair, our team will help you select a solution that meets your needs and ensures you qualify for this tax credit. While ENERGY STAR products indicate high efficiency, you should confirm the heat pump you choose 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 will not be the only savings you’ll find when you buy a new high-efficiency heat pump. Several of the most efficient models can save you hundreds of dollars on your energy bills all year long. And your household will also have more confidence in your HVAC system to keep your house at just the right temp.

When you come across questions about your eligibility for a tax credit, or if there are further local savings you could be eligible for by getting a new high-efficiency heat pump, give our pros at Superior Air Repair a call at 979-775-8700. You can also visit ENERGY STAR or contact your local utility establishment if you have questions about other eligible home products.
