When it comes to replacing outdated HVAC systems, timing and technology matter. We recently completed an exciting heat pump installation project, upgrading an aging system to the cutting-edge ACPRO SPHP-Z-V036BB single package vertical heat pump. Not only does this system deliver superior heating and cooling performance, but homeowners can also take advantage of federal tax credits worth up to $2,000 before they expire at the end of 2025.

Why Replace Your Old HVAC System?

Older heating and cooling systems become less efficient over time, leading to higher energy bills, frequent repairs, and inconsistent comfort. If your current system is more than 10-15 years old, upgrading to a modern high-efficiency heat pump can dramatically reduce your energy consumption while improving year-round comfort.

Our recent installation involved replacing an outdated HVAC system that was struggling to maintain comfortable temperatures and driving up utility costs. The homeowner wanted a reliable, energy-efficient solution that would provide both heating and cooling without breaking the bank.

The ACPRO SPHP-Z-V036BB: Advanced Heat Pump Technology

The ACPRO SPHP-Z-V036BB represents the latest in single package vertical heat pump technology. This innovative system is designed to fit within interior wall spaces, providing ultra-quiet operation and exceptional energy efficiency.

Key Features:

  • Space-Saving Design: The vertical configuration fits neatly inside walls, maximizing living space
  • Year-Round Comfort: Provides both efficient heating and cooling from a single unit
  • Whisper-Quiet Operation: Advanced engineering minimizes noise for peaceful indoor environments
  • High Energy Efficiency: Meets stringent efficiency standards that qualify for federal tax credits
  • Zoned Climate Control: Allows for precise temperature management in different areas

ACPRO specializes in versatile HVAC solutions for both new construction and replacement projects. Their single package vertical heat pumps are particularly popular in applications where space is limited or traditional ducted systems aren’t practical.

Federal Tax Credit: Act Before December 31, 2025

Here’s the exciting part for homeowners considering a heat pump upgrade: the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) provides a tax credit worth 30% of your total installation costs, up to a maximum of $2,000.

Important Details:

  • Credit Amount: 30% of equipment and installation costs (maximum $2,000)
  • Deadline: System must be installed by December 31, 2025
  • Eligibility: Heat pumps must meet ENERGY STAR Most Efficient certification standards
  • Who Qualifies: Both homeowners and renters who improve their primary or secondary residence

This tax credit was part of the Inflation Reduction Act designed to encourage energy-efficient home improvements. However, recent legislation means these credits will expire at the end of 2025 and are not expected to be renewed in the near future.

How to Claim Your Heat Pump Tax Credit

Claiming your tax credit is straightforward when you work with qualified HVAC professionals like GoTech:

  1. Keep All Documentation: Save receipts, invoices, and installation paperwork
  2. Verify System Qualifications: Ensure your heat pump meets efficiency requirements
  3. Obtain Manufacturer PIN: You’ll need the manufacturer’s Product Identification Number for tax filing
  4. Complete IRS Form 5695: This form is specifically for residential energy-efficient property credits
  5. File With Your 2025 Tax Return: Include Form 5695 when you file your federal taxes

The tax credit is non-refundable, meaning it reduces your tax liability but won’t result in a refund if the credit exceeds what you owe. However, with the $2,000 maximum, most homeowners can take full advantage of the savings.

Installation Benefits Beyond Tax Credits

While the federal tax credit provides significant upfront savings, the long-term benefits of upgrading to a high-efficiency heat pump extend far beyond the initial installation:

Energy Savings: Modern heat pumps use significantly less energy than older systems, potentially reducing your heating and cooling costs by 30-40% annually.

Improved Comfort: Advanced technology provides more consistent temperatures throughout your home, eliminating hot and cold spots common with aging systems.

Environmental Impact: High-efficiency heat pumps reduce your carbon footprint by using less energy and employing environmentally friendly refrigerants.

Increased Home Value: Energy-efficient HVAC systems are attractive features for potential buyers, potentially increasing your property’s resale value.

Reduced Repair Costs: New systems come with manufacturer warranties and require fewer repairs than aging equipment.
