To qualify for this tax credit in a specific tax year, you need to install your heat pump within that year. For instance, to claim the credit on your 2024 tax return, ensure your heat pump HVAC system is installed by December 31, 2024.

This credit can be combined with additional home upgrade credits of up to $1,200 made within the same tax year. By embracing energy efficient heat pump technology, you’re not only enhancing your home’s comfort but also unlocking financial benefits.
