2025 Is the Final Year to Claim HVAC Tax Credits—Here’s What Homeowners Should Know

Radiant Tech Working on Air Conditioner

If you’ve been putting off replacing your old, inefficient HVAC system, 2025 is your last chance to claim major federal tax credits—potentially saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, homeowners can still claim credits for energy-efficient upgrades, but these incentives expire December 31, 2025, due to recent legislative changes.

At Radiant, we want to make sure Texas homeowners don’t miss this opportunity. That’s why we’re offering No Payments, No Interest for 6 Months on qualifying A/C installations—but this deal ends September 30, 2025.

Here’s what you need to know to maximize your savings before it’s too late.

Why These Tax Credits Matter for Texas Homeowners

The IRA expanded two key tax credits to help Americans lower energy costs:

1. Section 25C: Energy Efficiency Home Improvement Credit

  • Up to $1,200 per year for qualifying upgrades, including:
    • High-efficiency air conditioners
    • Heat pumps
    • Energy-saving furnaces
    • Insulation and duct sealing
  • Covers 30% of project costs (up to the annual limit).

2. Section 25D: Residential Clean Energy Credit

  • 30% tax credit for renewable energy installations like:
    • Solar panels
    • Geothermal heat pumps
  • No annual limit—available through 2032, but HVAC-specific benefits expire sooner.

The catch? In July 2025, Congress passed new legislation (the One Big Beautiful Bill) that accelerated the expiration of these HVAC tax credits—slashing the original timeline and giving homeowners just months left to act. While the IRA’s incentives were designed for long-term energy savings, this bill cut them short, meaning Texans who delay will lose out on hundreds or even thousands in savings after December 31, 2025.

Which HVAC Upgrades Qualify—And Why You Should Act Now

Not all systems are eligible. To get the tax credit, your new HVAC must meet strict efficiency standards (like SEER2 16+ for A/C units). At Radiant, we specialize in these approved systems, including:

  • High-efficiency air conditioners – Lower bills, better cooling
  • Heat pumps – All-in-one heating & cooling (great for Texas winters)
  • Smart thermostats – Maximize efficiency with automated controls

But here’s the real urgency:

  • Supply chain delays mean installations can take weeks (or longer)—waiting until fall could push you past the December 31 tax credit deadline.
  • High summer demand leaves contractors booked out. If you don’t schedule soon, you might not get an installation slot this year.
  • Our 0% financing promo ends September 30—miss that, and you’ll lose both the tax credit and interest-free payments.

If you wait until late 2025, you might miss the tax credit AND our financing deal.
