Save Thousands on a New HVAC System with Federal & State Incentives

Person holding thousands of dollars in HVAC savings

If upgrading your old heating or cooling system has been on hold because of cost, there’s good news —you could get a large portion of that investment back. Thanks to new federal tax credits and state utility rebates, Atlanta homeowners can save thousands when upgrading to high-efficiency HVAC systems.

At Vital Air Services, we make sure you take advantage of every available incentive so you can enjoy year-round comfort without overspending.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Upgrade Your HVAC

Older HVAC systems lose efficiency over time, which means higher energy bills and more frequent repairs. If your system is over 10 years old, it’s likely costing you more than it should.

Here’s what a new system can do for your home and your wallet:

Lower Energy Bills

Modern HVAC systems are up to 20% more energy-efficient, which can save most homeowners $200–$400 per year on heating and cooling costs. Over the lifetime of your system, that adds up to thousands of dollars.

Fewer Repairs

New systems are built to last, so you’ll spend less time and money on emergency repairs. With Vital Air’s expert installation and service, you can enjoy peace of mind with a reliable system.

Consistent Comfort

High-efficiency systems provide even heating and cooling, better humidity control, and quieter operation, keeping your home comfortable all year.

Even with these benefits, the upfront cost can feel intimidating. Luckily, federal and state incentives make upgrading more affordable than ever.

Federal Tax Credit: Save Up to $3,200

The federal government is offering homeowners up to $3,200 in tax credits for installing qualifying high-efficiency HVAC systems and other energy-saving home improvements.

This credit reduces your tax bill directly, putting real savings back in your pocket.

Important: The credit expires December 31, 2025 — if upgrading your HVAC is on your to-do list, prioritize it now!

What Qualifies

The credit applies to several energy-efficient systems, including:

Your system just needs to meet the efficiency standards set by the U.S. Department of Energy.

How Much You Can Save

The credit covers 30% of the project cost, with limits depending on the equipment:

Equipment Type

Maximum Credit

High-Efficiency Heat Pumps (including water heaters)

Up to $2,000

Qualifying Central Air Conditioners

Up to $600

Qualifying Natural Gas, Propane, or Oil Furnaces/Boilers

Top-tier systems can reach the full $3,200 credit when combined with other eligible home improvements like insulation, windows, doors, or electrical upgrades.

How to Take Advantage

To claim your federal tax credit, you’ll need:

  • Your installation invoice
  • Manufacturer’s certification statement
  • Proof the system meets efficiency requirements

The good news? Vital Air Services provides all the necessary paperwork, so claiming your credit is fast and stress-free.

State & Local Utility Rebates: Extra Savings

In addition to the federal tax credit, Georgia homeowners may qualify for rebates through Georgia Power and other local utility providers. These rebates can reduce your upfront costs further and are usually combinable with federal incentives.

Depending on your system and provider, rebates can range from a few hundred dollars to over $1,000. Some programs even provide instant rebates at installation, so you start saving right away.

At Vital Air Services, our team will guide you through the available programs to make sure you don’t leave any savings on the table.
