If you’ve been thinking about replacing your HVAC system, there’s never been a better time to make the move. Thanks to new federal tax credits, homeowners across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama can now get up to $2,000 back when upgrading to qualifying energy-efficient heating and cooling systems — including Daikin heat pumps and HVAC solutions.
These savings are part of a larger effort to help homeowners reduce energy use, lower utility costs, and make environmentally friendly upgrades more attainable. The best part? You don’t have to navigate the details on your own — your local Daikin Comfort Pro, Harbin Heating & Air Conditioning, is here to guide you through every step.
What Is the Federal HVAC Tax Credit?
The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit (also known as the 25C tax credit) is designed to encourage homeowners to upgrade to modern, high-efficiency systems that use less energy and provide better comfort.
Under this program, you can receive up to $2,000 in tax credits for qualifying HVAC systems, including:
Heat pumps
Central air conditioners
Furnaces
Water heaters
Advanced energy-efficient home improvements
The program is in effect through December 31, 2025, so homeowners still have time to plan their upgrades and take advantage of the savings.
It’s not a rebate or a loan — it’s a direct tax credit that reduces the amount you owe when filing your federal taxes. That means real money back in your pocket.
Why Upgrade Now?
Replacing your HVAC system is one of the smartest investments you can make for your home — especially now that there’s federal money available to offset the cost.
Here’s why upgrading in 2025 makes sense:
1. Energy Efficiency That Pays You Back
Modern HVAC systems, like the Daikin FIT with inverter technology, use energy more efficiently than older systems. They automatically adjust output to match your home’s needs, running quietly and steadily without constant on-and-off cycles.
That efficiency translates directly to lower monthly utility bills — and with the federal tax credit, you save even more.
2. Increased Home Comfort
If your current system struggles to keep temperatures consistent from room to room, it’s likely losing efficiency. New systems are designed for precision control, reducing hot and cold spots and maintaining steady comfort throughout your home.
3. Environmental Benefits
Upgrading to an energy-efficient system not only helps your wallet — it also helps reduce your home’s carbon footprint. Daikin’s latest models use R-32 refrigerant, a more environmentally friendly alternative that improves performance while lowering emissions.
4. Rising Energy Costs
With utility rates continuing to rise across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama, now is the time to make your system as efficient as possible. A new Daikin system, combined with programmable thermostats and proper maintenance, can significantly reduce long-term energy costs.
How the Federal Tax Credit Works
Many homeowners are unsure how these programs function, so here’s a quick breakdown.
The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit (25C) allows you to claim up to 30% of the total cost of qualifying energy-efficient improvements, up to a maximum of $2,000 per year for HVAC upgrades.
That includes both equipment and installation costs.
Example:
If you install a qualifying Daikin heat pump for $6,500, you could receive up to $1,950 in federal tax credits. That’s money directly off your tax bill — not just a deduction.
Important Notes:
The credit renews each year through 2025, so you can spread upgrades over multiple years if needed.
Always consult your tax professional to confirm eligibility based on your system and installation date.
The system must meet efficiency standards outlined by the federal government to qualify.
Your Daikin Comfort Pro, like Harbin Heating & Air Conditioning, can help you choose the right model to ensure your upgrade qualifies.
What Systems Qualify?
Not all HVAC systems are created equal. To qualify for the federal tax credit, your equipment must meet specific efficiency requirements.
Here are some examples of Daikin systems that typically qualify:
✅ Daikin FIT Heat Pump Systems
These compact, inverter-driven systems provide heating and cooling in one sleek package. They deliver quiet performance, energy savings, and comfort tailored to your home’s needs.
✅ High-Efficiency Central Air Conditioners
Daikin offers high-SEER air-conditioning systems that keep energy use low while providing powerful cooling — perfect for hot Southern summers.
✅ Gas Furnaces and Dual-Fuel Systems
If your home uses gas heating, upgrading to a high-efficiency Daikin furnace can cut energy waste and qualify for partial credits, especially when paired with a compatible heat pump.
✅ Smart Thermostats
While thermostats themselves don’t usually qualify for the federal tax credit, pairing your system with a Daikin One Touch Thermostat can help maximize efficiency and energy savings.
What About Local Rebates and Incentives?
In addition to the federal tax credit, many local utility companies across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama offer rebates for energy-efficient equipment.
These can range anywhere from $150 to $1,000 depending on the system and region.
Your Harbin Heating & Air Conditioning team will help you explore all available incentives to make sure you’re getting every possible dollar back — from federal, state, and local programs.
We handle the research, paperwork, and system verification so you don’t have to.
Planning Your Upgrade the Smart Way
Before rushing into a replacement, take time to plan your upgrade carefully. Here’s how to make the most of your investment:
1. Get a Professional Evaluation
Our technicians can assess your current system’s efficiency, check for duct leaks, and determine whether repairs or replacement make the most sense for your home.
2. Choose the Right Equipment for Your Space
Bigger isn’t always better. Proper sizing ensures your HVAC system runs efficiently and maintains even comfort. We use load calculations and Daikin’s advanced tools to find your perfect fit.
3. Schedule Your Installation Before Peak Season
Fall and spring are ideal for upgrades — before extreme weather hits and demand increases. This ensures faster installation and better scheduling flexibility.
4. Save Your Documentation
Keep all invoices and manufacturer certificates for your tax records. You’ll need them to claim your credit.
