The Federal Heat Pump
Tax Credit Has Expired

Here's What Still Saves You Money in 2026.

Ended for installations after December 31, 2025

The federal tax credit (IRC §25C) ended for equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025, under Public Law 119-21. The good news: wholesale pricing, state HEAR rebates, and utility programs can still save you thousands in 2026.

How to Save in 2026

No federal credit needed. Three steps to real savings.

1. Check Your Rebates

Check your state HEAR program status and search your zip code on DSIRE for local utility rebates.

2. Buy at Wholesale

Order your high-efficiency system at true wholesale pricing from AC Direct, with no retail markup.

3. Install & Save

Schedule a local licensed contractor for the install and keep the retail markup in your pocket.

What Still Works in 2026:

  • State HEAR rebates: up to $8,000 for income-eligible households.
  • Local utility rebates: search your zip code on the DSIRE database.
  • Wholesale pricing: the same equipment contractors buy, without the markup.

Installed in 2025?

If your qualifying system was placed in service on or before December 31, 2025, you can still claim your credit:

Upgrade to High-Efficiency Inverter Technology and Feel the Difference

Old Tech Costs You Comfort & Money

Standard heat pumps are either ON (100%) or OFF (0%). This constant cycling wastes energy, creates uncomfortable temperature swings, and is loud.

Inverter Tech = Smooth, Steady Comfort

A smart inverter heat pump automatically adjusts its speed to match your home's needs. It runs longer at lower, quieter speeds, using up to 50% less energy.
