Heat Pumps 101: What does the 2K cap on tax credit mean?

[@mactan_sc]

incentives require an installer, so the installer gets to tack on the value of the credits in their fee and soak up the $ ez peazy

[@JorgeLuis-sy6vy]

I'm in the market for replacing my old hvac with a more efficient heat pump. does the tax credit mean I'll get a 2000 dlls money returned?

[@ciarantheanarchist]

The federal tax credit is for 30% of the cost of a heat pump - up to $2000.00. At least that's how I read it.

[@davidparker7156]

can you get the credit if you install your own?

[@ciarantheanarchist]

For the federal tax credit, yes. My local utility has additional credits, but requires an installer. Which probably wouldn't pencil out in my state. Plumbers here are stupid expensive due to regulator capture.
