Upgrading your HVAC system is a big investment, but many homeowners in Newport News don’t realize how much money is available to help offset the cost. Between local utility programs and federal tax credits, you could save a significant amount by choosing high-efficiency equipment.
At Bert’s Inc., we walk homeowners through these options every day, and it often makes upgrading more affordable than expected.
Local Utility Rebates
Depending on your home and the type of system you install, you may qualify for rebates through local providers like Dominion Energy and Virginia Natural Gas.
These programs typically reward energy-efficient upgrades such as:
• High-efficiency heat pumps
• ENERGY STAR® certified air conditioning systems
• Smart thermostats
• Duct sealing or system improvements
Rebate amounts can vary, but they’re designed to encourage homeowners to choose equipment that uses less energy and performs better over time.
Federal Tax Credits
In addition to local rebates, federal programs can help reduce your upfront cost even further. Through current energy-efficiency incentives, homeowners may qualify for tax credits when installing approved high-efficiency HVAC systems.
These credits can apply to:
• Heat pumps
• Central air conditioning systems
• Furnaces and boilers that meet efficiency standards
In many cases, you can claim a percentage of the installation cost, up to certain limits when you file your taxes.
Why High-Efficiency Equipment Matters
Beyond the savings on installation, upgrading to a high-efficiency system can:
• Lower your monthly energy bills
• Improve overall comfort
• Provide better humidity control
• Reduce wear and tear on your equipment
When you combine long-term savings with rebates and tax credits, the numbers often make a strong case for upgrading sooner rather than later.
Don’t Leave Money on the Table
Rebate programs and tax credits can change over time, and not every system qualifies. Making sure you choose the right equipment, and have it installed properly, makes all the difference.
That’s where having a knowledgeable team helps.
