Big changes are coming to federal energy tax incentives, and homeowners in metro Atlanta have a limited-time opportunity to save before they go away. The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) is currently offering up to $2,000 in tax credits for qualified HVAC upgrades, but only until December 31, 2025.
This credit was created to encourage homeowners to make energy-smart upgrades that not only reduce energy usage but also increase home comfort and long-term efficiency. But after recent legislative changes, the window of opportunity is closing much sooner than originally expected.
If your HVAC system is showing signs of age, inefficiency, or frequent breakdowns, time is running out to save on replacing it, and Anchor Heating & Air is here to help you do it right.
What the 25C Tax Credit Covers
Under the current 25C guidelines, homeowners who install qualifying equipment can claim a dollar-for-dollar credit on their federal tax return. This isn’t just a deduction—it’s real money directly off your federal tax bill.
Here’s what you may be eligible for:
- Up to $2,000 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps (both ducted and ductless systems)
- Up to $600 for ENERGY STAR®-certified central air conditioners or furnaces
These upgrades also deliver long-term value by reducing monthly utility bills and improving your overall comfort, especially during hot Atlanta summers and chilly winter snaps.
Why the Deadline Matters
Originally, the 25C tax credit was slated to run through 2032. But a new federal change has cut that timeline short. The last day to complete a qualifying installation is December 31, 2025.
To be clear:
- Your project must be fully installed and operational by the end of 2025, not just scheduled or in progress.
- Any installations completed after the cutoff date will not qualify for the federal credit.
- As more homeowners rush to upgrade before the deadline, HVAC schedules will book up fast.
Replacing Your HVAC System Is a Smart Investment
Heating and cooling systems are some of the most important and expensive components in your home. Replacing an outdated system with a modern, energy-efficient Trane system can result in:
- Lower monthly energy bills
- Better temperature control and humidity management
- Improved indoor air quality
- Quieter operation
- A smaller carbon footprint
And thanks to the 25C credit, you can do all of this while saving up to $2,000. But only if you take action soon!
