While we\u2019re enjoying the gorgeous autumn weather in South Carolina, don\u2019t forget to plan for the future! Much of the year, we need to either heat or cool our homes for months on end. And if you aren\u2019t absolutely certain that your home\u2019s HVAC system is in excellent condition, now would be the best time to consider what might need replacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just your heating system you should consider this fall, either. There are changes coming to the air conditioning industry, and you\u2019d do best to be prepared in advance. What\u2019s going on that makes this fall the best time for an HVAC upgrade? What are the best cost-saving options? Here\u2019s the info you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tax Credits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you purchase equipment before the end of the year which is eligible for tax rebates thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, you\u2019ll get that rebate within just a few months! Upgrading to a more energy-efficient heating system, air conditioner, or heat pump during the fall means being able to file your taxes soon after, so you\u2019ll get your money back as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most high-efficiency equipment, such as furnaces and air conditioners, the rebate you\u2019ll be able to collect is 30% of the cost of the system, up to a maximum of $1,200. But if you purchase a heat pump or boiler, you can still recover 30% of the cost, but the maximum is even higher: up to $2,000. Don\u2019t let this opportunity pass you by. You could get a great system for much less money, plus pay less when your energy bills come each month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refrigerant Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s another law affecting HVAC manufacturers and, down the line, purchasers as well now. This is the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act, first signed into law by Donald Trump in 2020. It specifies a timeline for switching over from using an older, less-environmentally-friendly refrigerant to a newer one that\u2019s much better for the environment. In January of 2025, a big shift is coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturers will no longer be making new systems which are reliant upon this refrigerant. This change is positive in many ways, but in the short term, it will have some impacts that will be felt by consumers. There may be some supply chain delays during the coming year, and the cost of the new systems will be somewhat higher. What can you do about that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
