Preventative Maintenance - Residential Equipment Install

For homeowners planning a heating or cooling equipment purchase in 2013, we have good news. The federal tax credit for the installation of qualified energy-efficient equipment has been reinstated and is retroactive to January 1, 2012 (for eligible homeowners). The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, passed on January 1, 2013, extends these credits through December 31, 2013.

For additional savings, some utility companies may offer additional incentives that can be used in conjunction with the 25C tax credit. To find out if your utility company is offering any incentives, visit The Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) website, www.dsireusa.org.

Before jumping into a purchase, make sure that you qualify for the credit. We recommend that you consult your tax professional to avoid surprises after the fact. An H.B. McClure Comfort Consultant can also assist you, but should not be considered a substitute for professional tax guidance.
