On January 2, 2013, President Obama signed fiscal cliff avoidance legislation that retroactively reinstated 25C tax credits for HVAC products. The credits were made retroactive to January 1, 2012 and apply to qualified equipment installed any time after December 31, 2011. It is recommended that homeowners consult a tax advisor in order to claim these benefits as outlined in the legislation. General Qualifying Efficiency Levels for the credit are as follows:
