For most families, there always seems to be a long list of home improvement to-do’s that they would like to get done or new ideas they’d like to try. While some may not be necessary, purchasing a new heat pump is a task that could be key to keeping your house comfortable during the chillier months in Kutztown and Breinigsville.

Purchasing a new heat pump is a big investment. You’ll definitely notice the return on investment on your indoor comfort along with your energy bills, but it may be a tad daunting at first. The good news is that when you select 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 pushed through December 31, 2020. In order to receive the tax credit, you must purchase a heat pump that has earned the ENERGY STAR label. When browsing for heat pumps, watch for products with the ENERGY STAR rating so you can be confident you’re getting a high-efficiency heat pump.

At Moyer Total Indoor Comfort, we’ll help you select a solution that fits your needs and helps you qualify for this tax credit. While ENERGY STAR products signify high efficiency, you should 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

This tax credit is not going to 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 energy costs during the year. And your household will also have more confidence in your HVAC system to help your home stay at just the right comfort level.
