This page is offered as assistance and is not considered to be tax or accounting advice. You should always consult a tax professional when it comes to filing taxes. Not all jobs qualify for tax credits, and not all tax payers can fully utilize tax credits. As of 2026 the federal tax credit program has expired for HVAC products. If we installed a furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump for you in 2025 this page is for you!

If you had a furnace installed in your PRIMARY RESIDENCE and it is above or equal to 97% AFUE you may qualify for the tax credit. Further info available here from EnergyStar.gov
AHRI Certificates:
All models that begin with ARVM97 get the 97% rating. If your preparer needs proof, see these certificates.

While ENERGY STAR supplies some information about tax credits here, the tax credits are administered by the IRS. You will have to claim the credit using the form below and submitting it with your tax returns to the IRS. If you utilize tax software or a tax professional these programs do typically ask questions about home improvements in an attempt to save you money. However, in the end it is up to you to make sure this credit is applied on your taxes.
You will also need "QM" pin numbers for the 5695 form:
