Don’t Miss Out on Seasonal Savings
As 2025 comes to an end, homeowners in Raleigh, Cary, and surrounding areas have one last opportunity to take advantage of federal energy tax credits for new heating and cooling systems. These incentives, offered through the Inflation Reduction Act, can significantly reduce the cost of upgrading to a high-efficiency AC system. If you’ve been putting off replacing your old furnace or scheduling maintenance, now is the time to act before the window closes.
What Are the Current Tax Credits?
Through the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, homeowners may qualify for up to $2,000 in credits for installing eligible high-efficiency heat pumps, furnaces, and other energy-saving improvements. To qualify, equipment must meet specific efficiency standards set by the U.S. Department of Energy. Weather Master’s system replacement experts can help you determine which models qualify so you can maximize your savings while upgrading your comfort. These incentives may change or decrease next year, so acting before the end of the year ensures you don’t miss out.
Why Now Is the Perfect Time for Maintenance
Even if you’re not ready for a full replacement, seasonal maintenance is still one of the smartest investments you can make for your home. A professional heating tune-up ensures your system runs safely, efficiently, and reliably through the winter. During a maintenance visit, our technicians clean components, check for gas leaks, inspect filters, and verify airflow and combustion efficiency. These steps reduce energy waste, extend your system’s lifespan, and help avoid emergency repairs during the coldest months in North Carolina.
The Benefits of Upgrading to a High-Efficiency System
If your furnace or heat pump is more than 10–12 years old, replacing it with a modern system can drastically improve performance and lower your utility bills. Newer models use variable-speed technology and smart thermostats to regulate comfort more precisely. Upgrading your system now also ensures compatibility with future energy-efficiency programs and smart home integrations. Weather Master offers professional installation of energy-efficient systems designed to meet both your comfort needs and long-term budget goals.
How to Know When It’s Time for a Replacement
Frequent repairs, uneven heating, or rising energy bills are all signs your system may be nearing the end of its life. If you’ve noticed strange noises, cold spots, or the system cycling on and off too often, it may be time to schedule an evaluation. Our experts will assess your system and help you weigh the cost of repairs versus replacement. In many cases, upgrading before major failures occur is more cost-effective — especially when you factor in available rebates and tax credits.
