If your HVAC system is aging or struggling to keep up with Tucson’s desert heat, now’s the time to upgrade. The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit could help you save up to 30% on qualifying HVAC replacements—but only if your new system is installed by December 31, 2025.

What Is the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit?

The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, created through the Inflation Reduction Act, rewards homeowners who make qualifying upgrades that reduce household energy use.

According to the IRS, homeowners can claim 30% of eligible project costs, up to:

• $1,200 per year for qualified energy-efficiency improvements like insulation, air sealing, and certain HVAC systems
• $2,000 per year for advanced systems such as heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and biomass boilers

Your home must be located in the United States and serve as your primary residence. The equipment must also meet ENERGY STAR® and federal efficiency standards, and be installed by the end of the calendar year.

For 2025, you’ll also need to include the manufacturer’s Qualified Manufacturer Identification Number (QMID) on your tax return.

What This Means for Tucson Homeowners

Energy efficiency makes a noticeable difference in southern Arizona. With Tucson’s intense summer heat and long cooling seasons, high-efficiency systems can:

• Cut annual energy costs by 20–40% compared to older models
• Keep indoor humidity in check during monsoon season
• Deliver quieter, more consistent comfort year-round

Replacing your HVAC now means you’ll not only save on installation through the tax credit but also enjoy lower utility bills for years to come.

Why You Should Act Before December 31, 2025

The IRS credit applies only to systems placed in service by year-end. Waiting too long can lead to scheduling delays or supply shortages when contractors book up near the deadline.

In addition, tax incentives are subject to change each year. There’s no guarantee the same benefits—or the same credit amounts—will be available after 2025.
