Entrée
Solar system $24,000 + heat pump $8,000 + EV $45,000 + insulation $2,000
Résultat
Solar ITC: $7,200 + Heat pump: $2,000 + EV: $7,500 + Insulation: $1,200 = $17,900 total credits
Entrée
Heat pump water heater $2,500 + electrical panel upgrade $4,000
Résultat
HP water heater: $2,000 credit + panel: $600 credit = $2,600 (within $3,200 electrification cap)
Erreurs courantes à éviter
- ✕Not realizing the $1,200 annual cap on 25C efficiency credits resets each year — spread improvements across tax years
- ✕Confusing the heat pump $2,000 credit (separate from the $1,200 efficiency cap) with the general efficiency credits
- ✕Missing that low-to-moderate income households qualify for separate HOMES and HEAR rebate programs up to $14,000
