Save on Air Conditioning Service in Columbia, SC

 

 

Thanks to tax credits available on air conditioners, it is now much more affordable to keep homes cool during the hot summer months. Whether homeowners have been dealing with the heat without air conditioning or have been trying to make older, less efficient models of air conditioners work, now is the time to take advantage of tax credits and purchase new models that will do a better job keeping the home temperature comfortable.

President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February 2009, expanding tax credits for homeowners purchasing specific energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment. The available credits total $1,500 and are available on the purchase of qualifying equipment that homeowners purchase and install between the dates January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010.

Top Energy Efficient Models Meet Tax Credit Qualifications

While not all new air conditioners meet the qualifications for the tax credit, the ones that do qualify are the highest efficiency models that will cost more up front than standard air conditioners but will pay the consumer back in decreased energy bills over time. The tax credit is 30% of the installed cost, with a maximum $1,500 tax credit.

The models that fall under the tax credit include high-efficiency home comfort systems that meet the minimum ratings for energy-efficiency as stipulated in the government’s economic stimulus bill.

While the tax credit provides immediate financial relief up-front, the new high-efficiency air conditioners bring financial relief for months and years to come as the consumer pays less for monthly energy bill costs and enjoys a more comfortable home.

Among the qualifying home comfort systems available are the Lennox brand systems. Lennox, a four-time winner of the ENERGY STAR® Manufacturing Partner of the Year award, offers a full selection of systems that meet the stipulations for the tax credits on air conditioners. Lennox’s high quality air conditioning systems with innovative technologies meet the minimum energy-efficiency ratings and are known as the top-of-the-line air conditioners for home use.


Tax Credit on Air Conditioners is Available to all Homeowners

All homeowners can take advantage of these tax credits on air conditioners, as there is no upper or lower limit on income. The $1,500 maximum credit can be used toward one new air conditioner and install per home.

Perhaps your air conditioner keeps things somewhat cool, but you dread having to call for air conditioning repair in Columbia, SC once or twice a year to conduct maintenance and get things working properly again. With new, high-efficiency air conditioner models, it is less likely you will even need to call the repairman, because these models are designed to perform at top levels year after year.

Instead of sweating it out each summer or relying on out-dated, inefficient hvac, the tax credit is making it easier for homeowners from any income bracket to install a new air conditioner.  New units also make air conditioning maintenance easier and more affordable.
