State HOMES rebates and local utility incentives on qualifying ductless mini-split heat pumps.
Federal 25C Tax Credit Update
The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) was repealed by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, effective December 31, 2025. The Section 25D Residential Clean Energy Credit (geothermal) also expired. If you installed a qualifying system in 2025 or earlier, you can still claim the credit on that year's return. For 2026 installations, state HOMES/HEAR rebates and local utility incentives are the primary savings opportunities.
