For a lot of families, there usually seems to be a long list of house tasks that they need to achieve or new ideas they’d like to attempt. While some may not be necessities, getting a new heat pump is one job that could be vital to keeping your indoor space comfortable through the chillier months in Brookfield.

Getting a new heat pump is a sizeable investment. You’ll certainly realize the return on investment on your indoor comfort along with your monthly bills, but it may be a little overwhelming at first. The good news is that when you purchase 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 receive the tax credit, you must select a heat pump that has gotten the ENERGY STAR label. When browsing for heat pumps, keep an eye out for solutions with the ENERGY STAR rating so you can be confident you’re selecting a high-efficiency heat pump.

At Central Air LLC, we’ll help you choose a solution that fits your needs and ensures you qualify for this tax credit. While ENERGY STAR products signify high efficiency, it’s important to confirm the heat pump you select 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 won’t be the only savings you’ll observe when you get a new high-efficiency heat pump. Many of the most efficient solutions can save you hundreds of dollars on your utility costs all year long. And you’ll also have more confidence in your HVAC system to help your home stay at just the right temperature.
