Rebates & Savings Help

Don't Leave HVAC Rebates & Tax Credits on the Table

A new high-efficiency system can qualify for federal tax credits and local utility rebates. We help Winter Haven homeowners capture every dollar — and handle the paperwork.

The Short Answer

A qualifying high-efficiency system can earn up to $2,000 (heat pump) or $600 (central AC) from the federal 25C tax credit, often stackable with Duke Energy rebates and manufacturer promotions. The catch: equipment must meet the efficiency requirements — so choose qualifying models before you buy.

Incentive programs and amounts change and depend on your equipment, eligibility, and tax situation. We confirm current offers at the time of your install; consult a tax professional for your specific credit.

How we help you capture every dollar

The most common way homeowners miss out is installing a system that lands just below the qualifying efficiency tier. We start by recommending equipment that qualifies for the credits and rebates you're after, then provide the documentation you need to claim them. Pair that with financing and a higher-efficiency system becomes surprisingly affordable on a monthly basis.

Tip: capture savings on the front end too — ask us about current manufacturer instant rebates, which come off the price at purchase rather than at tax time.

FAQ

Rebate & Credit Questions, Answered

What HVAC tax credits can Florida homeowners get in 2026?

The federal 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit offers up to $2,000 for a qualifying heat pump and up to $600 for a qualifying high-efficiency central AC, claimed on your federal tax return for the year of installation. The equipment must meet specific efficiency requirements — we help you choose models that qualify.

Does Duke Energy offer rebates for a new AC?

Duke Energy Florida periodically offers rebates for qualifying high-efficiency HVAC equipment and smart thermostats. Programs and amounts change throughout the year, so we check the current offers at the time of your install and help you apply for what's available.

Can I combine a tax credit with a utility rebate?

Often, yes. The federal 25C tax credit is separate from utility rebates, so eligible homeowners can frequently capture both on the same qualifying system — plus any manufacturer promotion. We help you stack every incentive you qualify for.

How do I make sure my new system qualifies?

Choose equipment that meets the program's efficiency requirements before you buy. That's the most common place homeowners lose out — installing a system that's just below the qualifying tier. We'll recommend qualifying models and handle the paperwork. Call (863) 557-4608 to get started.

Do you handle the rebate paperwork?

Yes. We help you select qualifying equipment and provide the documentation you need for both the federal tax credit and any applicable utility rebate, so you don't leave money on the table.
