There’s Never Been a Better Time to Buy Our Highest Efficiency Systems.

Our highest-efficiency heating and cooling systems offer several homeowner benefits. From energy savings, to comfort-enhancing Ion™ System technologies, to longer component-specific warranties, there's a lot to like. And now there’s another potential benefit, thanks to Uncle Sam: The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

What is the Inflation Reduction Act?

To help reduce the effects of inflation, the U.S. Government has passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Of particular interest to homeowners, this act includes a number of tax credits for the installation of ENERGY STAR® certified home heating and cooling products. These include:
