Residential

• 2022 Inflation Reduction Act - On August 16, 2022 the U.S. government signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40% by 2030. The most meaningful impacts to HVAC are in two key areas.
  • Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit (25C)
  • High Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program (HEEHRP)
  • Each individual state will be administering their program and distributing funds separately and at this time Ohio has not released any additional information or details for their program. Be sure to check back to this page or visit https://www.lennox.com/owners/tax-credits/energy-tax-credits/ for more information or to see if your home/system may qualify.
  • Comfort Control does not employee a CPA and cannot give tax advise, therefore we recommend all customers consult a tax professional to understand the implications of a potential purchase.
• In August 2022, the 30% tax credit for geothermal heat pump installations was extended through 2032 and can be retroactively applied to installations “placed in service” on January 1, 2022 or later. Property is usually considered to be placed in service when installation is complete and equipment is ready for use. However, if the system is part of the construction or
  renovation of a house, it’s considered placed in service when the taxpayer takes residence in the house. To save the most on your installation, you’ll want to act quickly—this credit will drop to 26% in 2033 and 22% in 2034 before expiring altogether.
