Beat the Heat and Save Big: Nassau County Homeowners Can Score Up to $8,000 in Federal Rebates for 2025 AC Upgrades

Nassau County homeowners, your air conditioning upgrade just got a lot more affordable! With federal tax credits and rebates reaching their peak in 2025, there’s never been a better time to replace that aging AC system. Through December 31, 2025, federal income tax credits are available to homeowners, that will allow up to $3,200 to lower the cost of energy efficient home upgrades by up to 30 percent, and when combined with state and utility programs, total savings can reach $8,000 or more.

Federal Tax Credits: Your Biggest Savings Opportunity

The Inflation Reduction Act has created unprecedented opportunities for Nassau County residents to save on AC replacement. This rebate covers 30% of your system’s total cost, but is capped at $600 for central air conditioning systems. However, the real savings come from heat pump installations, which covers 30% of your system’s total cost, but is capped at $2,000.

To qualify for these federal incentives, your new system must meet strict efficiency requirements. To qualify for the 2025 federal tax credit, central air conditioner systems must have a rating of at least 16 SEER2 and 12 EER2. For heat pumps, ducted heat pump systems must have a rating of at least 15.2 SEER2, 8.1 HSPF2, and 10 EER2.

Important deadline: To qualify, the expense must be incurred and the product must be placed in service by Dec. 31, making 2025 the final year to claim these substantial savings.

New York State and Local Rebates Add Even More Savings

Nassau County homeowners have access to additional state and utility rebates that can significantly boost their total savings. NYS Clean Heat Program – Offers rebates covering up to 70-100% of the cost of heat pump installation depending on your household income. For moderate-income households, the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act (HEEHRA) will expand state rebates in 2025, offering $1,750 to $8,000 in upfront savings for low- and moderate-income households.

PSEG Long Island customers can take advantage of additional utility rebates. PSEG Long Island heat pump rebates covers ducted heat pumps and ductless mini split heat pumps. Rebate amounts vary by model. Save up to $2,000 on qualifying heat pump systems through these local programs.

Maximizing Your Rebate Strategy

Smart Nassau County homeowners are strategically timing their upgrades to maximize savings. Remember that the total annual energy efficiency credit you can claim is $3,200 in one year, with lower limits on individual items. By delaying certain upgrades, you can save more each year on taxes.

Consider bundling your AC replacement with other energy-efficient upgrades. Making these upgrades together in one year would allow you a tax credit of up to $1,200 for the insulation and up to $2,000 for the heat pump. This strategic approach can help you reach that $8,000 total savings when combined with state and utility programs.
