Massachusetts homeowners face rising heating costs as energy-efficient tax credit nears expiration
Girard Heating & Air Conditioning is alerting Massachusetts homeowners to three major factors converging this fall: the winter heating season is approaching, utilities are raising rates significantly and the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit for heat pumps, including ductless mini-splits, is set to expire at the end of this year.
With Eversource proposing delivery rate increases of at least 13 percent and National Grid planning higher natural gas prices, many households will face steeper energy bills this winter. Girard Heating & Air Conditioning emphasizes that installing an energy-efficient heating system now can help homeowners reduce costs while also taking advantage of the soon-to-expire federal tax credit.
The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit offers up to $2,000 annually for qualified heat pump installations, including Mitsubishi Electric mini-splits. This incentive helps offset installation costs while providing long-term savings, greater efficiency and improved comfort.
Girard Heating & Air Conditioning specializes in both ductless and ducted Mitsubishi Electric mini-split systems. These systems provide efficient heating and cooling, operate without ductwork and are an ideal solution for homeowners seeking to manage higher energy costs.
“Homeowners are facing a perfect storm: colder weather, rising utility rates and the expiration of a valuable federal tax credit,” said Steve Girard, owner/partner at Girard Heating & Air Conditioning. “Installing a Mitsubishi mini-split now not only helps reduce costs and improve comfort, but also ensures homeowners take advantage of the credit before it disappears.”
