For many households, there typically seems to be a lengthy list of home tasks that they would like to achieve or new ideas they’d like to do. While several may not be necessary, purchasing a new heat pump is one job that could be critical to keeping your home comfortable during the cooler months in Santa Clarita.

Selecting a new heat pump is a large investment. You’ll absolutely see the return on investment on your indoor comfort in addition to your monthly bills, but it could be a tad daunting at first. The good news is that when you buy a new energy-efficient heat pump, you may be eligible for a federal tax credit.

According to ENERGY STAR®, the Non-Business Energy Property Tax Credits were extended through December 31, 2020. In order to receive the tax credit, you must buy a heat pump that has received the ENERGY STAR label. When browsing for heat pumps, watch for solutions with the ENERGY STAR rating so you can be certain you’re selecting a high-efficiency heat pump.

At Verona HVAC, our team will help you choose a solution that matches your needs and helps you qualify for this tax credit. While ENERGY STAR products signify high efficiency, you should confirm the heat pump you pick 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 receive when you get a new high-efficiency heat pump. Some of the most efficient solutions can save you hundreds of dollars on your utility costs throughout the year. And the family will also have higher confidence in your HVAC system to maintain your indoor space at just the right comfort level.
