LAST CHANCE TO SAVE
Leverage tax credits for energy-efficient home upgrades
FAMILY FEATURES
Homeowners still have time to take advantage
of a federal tax credit of up to
30% of the cost of eligible energy-efficient
home improvements. The Energy Efficient
Home Improvement Credit (also known as the
25C tax credit) can help offset the expense of updating
or upgrading major home systems while
also lowering energy consumption.
Understanding the 25C Tax Credit
Homeowners in the United States may be eligible
when they install qualifying energy-efficient
equipment in their primary residence such as
all-climate electric heat pumps, insulation, windows
and other improvements. The credit is subject
to some limitations; for example, a homeowner
can only claim up to $2,000 per year for a
heat pump. The installation must be an addition
or improvement to an existing home, not a new
home, and can be used in combination with other
tax credits or incentives such as local, utility and
federal incentives and IRA programs.
The current version of this tax credit was implemented
Jan. 1, 2023, and expires Dec. 31, 2025.
In addition, rising energy costs and potential regulatory
changes in 2026, such as updated guidelines
on refrigerant, make late 2025 a strategic
time to upgrade systems.
Smart Ways to Use the Tax Credit
Generally, energy-saving upgrades are some of
the most common home improvement projects
because they enhance the home's overall function
while increasing the potential for cost savings
on energy bills.
Some qualifying upgrades do double-duty by
enhancing the home's curb appeal while reducing
energy requirements. Common examples
include windows, skylights and exterior doors.
Insulation and air sealing materials such as caulk
and weatherstripping are also common choices,
especially in older homes where insulation may
be below current standards and settling has created
gaps for air leaks.
Another common selection for homeowners
looking to take advantage of the 25C tax credit is
climate control systems, and an increasing number

are turning to all-climate, all-electric heat
pumps. One major reason is their high performance
when it comes to energy efficiency. According
to the U.S. Department of Energy, today's
heat pumps can reduce electricity use for
heating by 65% compared to electric resistance
heating. In fact, Mitsubishi Electric all-climate,
all-electric heat pumps have an efficiency rating
at 260-490% compared to traditional systems at
or below 100%.
In addition to their proven track record, contrary
to a popular misconception that all-climate
heat pumps are only for milder regions, the systems
can operate quite effectively in both high
heat and extreme cold. As a result, they provide
homeowners with greater comfort and control of
their indoor climate.

criteria, others do not. Do your homework
to ensure the model you're installing is eligible
for the credit. Your salesperson may be able to
provide information, or you can visit the manufacturer
website or contact the manufacturer
directly for details.
• Work with a certified contractor. Many reputable
brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, offer a
contractor network with highly skilled, knowledgeable
and reputable installers.
• Save your receipts to file. When you prepare
your 2025 tax forms, you'll need to complete
IRS Form 5695. Specifically, you will need to
provide the manufacturer's pin number and other
details about your purchase, including proof of
purchase.
