Here’s why Denver, CO, property owners should care about the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. It’s an opportunity.

HVAC Tax Credits Homeowners Can Claim

The Inflation Reduction Act extends and expands the existing Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) and the Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) to homeowners.

If you installed rooftop solar in 2022, it is eligible for the new, 30 percent 25D tax credit. If you installed a heat pump in 2022, it is eligible for the old 25C tax credit, or 10 percent of costs up to $300.

HVAC Rebates

The Inflation Reduction Act set aside a $4.3 billion budget, with the money allocated to individual states for disbursement. Funding will vary from state to state, and eligibility is income-based.

For example, the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act covers 100 percent of electrification project costs (up to $14,000) for low-income households and 50 percent of costs (up to $14,000) for moderate-income households.

Here’s how some of those rebates would work:

The rebate program is not available to all households. Because the funds are being allocated to state offices, and each state gets to decide to a certain degree how to distribute the money, it will take some time to fully implement the rebate program. The tax credits, in contrast, are in place right now and will continue to be for the next decade.
