Did you upgrade your HVAC system in 2025? You may be eligible for significant federal tax credits, including on qualifying HVAC installations like heat pumps, central air conditioners, furnaces, and more.
At Region Home Services, we want you to feel informed and confident when pursuing energy-efficient upgrades and claiming your tax incentives.
For the 2025 tax year, homeowners can qualify for the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit which is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in federal income tax, available by installing eligible energy-efficient equipment in their primary residence and claiming it on IRS Form 5695.
Here’s how it works:
To qualify, your HVAC system must meet specific efficiency requirements set by the IRS and energy certification standards. Common qualifying systems include:
Reminder: Equipment must be installed and operational in your home by December 31, 2025 to be eligible.
The federal tax credit covers 30 % of qualifying costs, including both equipment and installation – up to annual caps per category:
| Tax Credit Category | Maximum Credit (2025) |
| Qualified heat pumps & heat pump water heaters | Up to $2,000 |
| Central air conditioners | Up to $600 |
| Gas, propane, or oil furnaces | Up to $600 |
| Water heaters | Up to $600 |
These credits are nonrefundable, which means they can reduce your tax bill to zero, but won’t generate a refund if the credit exceeds your tax liability.
Follow these steps when filing your 2025 taxes:
Ensure your HVAC equipment meets the IRS requirements, including energy efficiency ranking and manufacturer listing. Most qualifying products are ENERGY STAR® certified and must include a valid Qualified Manufacturer Identification Number (QMID) on the tax return for 2025 credits.
Your new system must be installed and paid for by December 31, 2025. For example, if Region Home Services installs a high-efficiency heat pump in your Bensalem home, that qualifies if the system meets IRS guidelines.

Save:
These documents aren’t filed with your return but are critical if the IRS requests proof.
When filing your 2025 taxes (usually in early 2025), complete IRS Form 5695 – Residential Energy Credits, specifically Part II: Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. This is where you’ll report qualified HVAC expenses and calculate the credit you’re claiming.
Include the completed Form 5695 with your federal tax return when you file. If you’re using tax preparation software or a CPA, they’ll guide you where to input this information.
Because these tax incentives expire after December 31, 2025, it’s smart to plan your upgrades soon to ensure you can take full advantage of the savings.
