THE IMMEDIATE AND LONGER-TERM IMPACT OF THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT EXPLAINED 

Davis HVAC Experts' high-efficiency heating and cooling systems offer a number of consumer benefits. From energy savings to comfort-enhancing innovations to quieter operation, there’s a lot to like. And now there’s another benefit, thanks to Uncle Sam: The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. 


WHAT IS THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT OF 2022? 

The U.S. Government has passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, a piece of legislation covering a broad spectrum of initiatives, including health care costs, clean energy, and the federal deficit, among others.1 Of particular interest to homeowners, home builders, and HVAC contractors, this act includes a number of incentives for the installation of high-efficiency home heating and cooling products, including: 


  • $4.3 billion in state-administered rebates on ENERGY STAR® certified equipment
  • Extension and expansion of 25C, 25D, and 45L tax credits for CEE Highest Efficiency and ENERGY STAR® certified equipment 


Note: Rebate programs will take time to develop and will be subject to availability, and 25C tax credits available for 2022 will increase starting in 2023.2 


This guide will take a closer look at rebates and tax credits, then offer some recommendations on using the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to choose the right Bryant high-efficiency systems. 


THE REALITY ABOUT THE REBATES 

While the $4.3 billion rebate budget certainly catches your eye, it’s best to be patient and attentive to details for now. Here’s why: 


  • Funds will be allocated to state energy offices with a fair amount of discretion on how they will be used.
  • Depending upon the state, rebate programs may take some time to get implemented.
  • Funding allocations will vary from state-to-state.
  • The rebate program will not be available to all households. Households earning less than 80% of the median local income can qualify for the full benefit. Those earning between 80 – 150% of the average local median may be eligible for a partial (50%) benefit.
  • Rebates will be subject to availability – the funds are capped, so they may run out before the ten-year period is over. 


In contrast, the tax credits are in place now, and will continue to be available for the next decade. 



TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT TAX CREDITS: PATIENCE PAYS OFF 

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 both extends and expands existing 25C and 25D tax credits to homeowners and 45L tax credits to home builders for installing applicable high-efficiency HVAC equipment. Each of these credits has specific efficiency requirements to qualify as outlined in the chart below. The bill applies to systems installed in 2022, and some of these credits will increase in 2023. 


Here is a summary of the tax credits as they stand now, and for the coming years:3

WHEN DOES THIS NEW LEGISLATION TAKE EFFECT?

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives and signed into law by President Biden in August of 2022. The current 25C, 25D and 45L tax credits apply retroactively to products installed beginning on January 1, 2022. As noted in the chart above, these tax credits will change again as of January 1, 2023.

Why Professional Duct Cleaning Can Improve Your HVAC System’s Performance

August 5, 2026
Have you noticed uneven airflow between rooms, or your HVAC system running longer than it used to? While these issues may seem unrelated, they can all point to one common problem hiding behind your walls: dirty ductwork. Over time, dust, debris, pet dander, and other contaminants build up inside your air ducts, making your system work harder to keep your home comfortable. That is where Davis HVAC Experts can help. Professional duct cleaning is an important part of maintaining a healthy, efficient HVAC system. When airflow is restricted by buildup inside your ductwork, your heating and cooling system has to use more energy to move air throughout your home. This added strain can reduce efficiency, increase utility bills, and contribute to unnecessary wear on your equipment. Routine HVAC system service and duct cleaning help restore proper airflow, improve indoor air quality, and support more controlled temperatures from room to room. It can also reduce the amount of dust and allergens circulating through your home, creating a cleaner and more comfortable living environment. At Davis HVAC Experts, our HVAC services are designed to keep your system performing at its best through every season. Whether you have noticed reduced airflow, rising energy costs, or want to improve your home's indoor air quality, our team is here to help. Schedule a duct cleaning with Davis HVAC Experts today and enjoy a more efficient HVAC system, cleaner air, and dependable comfort year-round.

How Indoor Air Quality Affects Your Home and What Your HVAC System Can Do About

June 25, 2026
Have you noticed more dust collecting around your home, lingering odors that never seem to go away, or family members dealing with year-round allergy symptoms? While many homeowners focus on temperature when it comes to comfort, indoor air quality can have just as much impact on how living in your space feels every day. Poor indoor air quality often develops gradually. Dust, pet dander, pollen, excess humidity, and other airborne particles can accumulate in your home and circulate through your HVAC system. These pollutants can contribute to allergy symptoms and make it harder for your system to operate efficiently. That is where Davis HVAC Experts can help. Our HVAC services are designed to improve both comfort and air quality throughout your home. Services such as filter replacement, preventative maintenance, and professional duct cleaning can help improve airflow and create a cleaner indoor environment. Your residential HVAC system does more than provide heating and cooling. When properly maintained, it helps filter airborne particles, regulate humidity, and keep fresh air circulating throughout your living space.  If you are concerned about your indoor air quality, Davis HVAC Experts is here to help. Our team can evaluate your system, recommend practical solutions, and provide the HVAC services needed to support cleaner, healthier air for your family year-round.
