What Products Have Tax Credits

There are a variety of high-efficiency products around your home that may be eligible for up to $300 in federal tax credits.1 Get some money back in your pocket for those eco-friendly decisions you’ve made. Some of the products include water heaters, heat pumps, central air conditioners, windows and roofs.

We’ve prepared information on our website that pulls some important information together. There is a manufacturer’s certification statement that you can print out to keep with your dated proof of receipt. It includes all of our eligible products including Rheem® ProTerra™ Hybrid Electric Water Heater, tankless water heaters and others.

Details on What Qualifies

Products must have been installed January 1, 2018 – December 31, 2021 in a homeowner’s primary residence. New construction and rental properties aren’t eligible. So if you don’t have a product on the list now, keep it in mind when you’re buying appliances throughout 2021.
