2025 is one of the best years in history to install a heat pump in Sonoma County. Between the federal Inflation Reduction Act credits, PG&E rebates, and California state programs, eligible homeowners can offset a meaningful share of installation costs. Here’s everything you need to know.

Federal Tax Credit: 25C (IRA)

The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) under the Inflation Reduction Act provides a federal tax credit on heat pump installation (federal rules have since changed; confirm current eligibility).

How to Claim the Federal Credit

  2. Keep your installation invoice and manufacturer’s certification statement
  3. Complete IRS Form 5695 when filing your federal taxes
  4. Report the credit amount on Schedule 3, Line 5

We provide all necessary documentation for your tax filing at the time of installation.
