Thinking about replacing your old furnace or air conditioner? Now might be the best time. Thanks to new federal tax credits and Minnesota energy rebates, homeowners across the Twin Cities and West Metro can save thousands when upgrading to qualifying high-efficiency HVAC systems.

At High Road Heating & Cooling, we help you navigate every available incentive—so you can enjoy reliable, energy-efficient comfort without breaking your budget.

Why Upgrade Your HVAC Now

If your furnace or air conditioner is more than 10 years old, it’s likely costing you more in energy and repairs every year.

Here’s why investing in a new high-efficiency system pays off:

Lower Energy Bills

Modern systems use up to 20% less energy, saving most homeowners $200–$400 per year on heating and cooling. That means thousands saved over your system’s lifetime—money that stays in your pocket instead of going to the utility company.

Fewer Repairs

We stand by our Repair 1st, Replace 2nd™ philosophy, but when it’s time for a new system, you’ll get a reliable installation that’s built to last. Our expert technicians ensure every job meets the highest standards—so you can enjoy worry-free comfort for years.

Better Comfort Year-Round

Minnesota winters are long, and summers can be brutal. High-efficiency HVAC systems maintain more consistent temperatures, improve humidity control, and run more quietly—so your home feels perfectly comfortable in every season.

Federal Tax Credit: Save Up to $3,200

The federal government is offering homeowners up to $3,200 in tax credits for installing qualifying high-efficiency HVAC systems and other energy-efficient home upgrades.

Deadline: These credits expire December 31, 2025, so it’s smart to act soon and secure your savings.

What Qualifies

Tax credits apply to:

Potential Savings

Homeowners can take advantage of valuable federal tax credits when upgrading to qualifying high-efficiency HVAC equipment. High-efficiency heat pumps qualify for up to $2,000 in savings, while central air conditioners and natural gas, propane, or oil furnaces and boilers each qualify for up to $600 in tax credits.

Combine qualifying upgrades to claim up to the full $3,200 credit.

Minnesota Rebates: More Savings for Local Homeowners

In addition to federal incentives, Minnesota homeowners can take advantage of energy-efficiency rebates from state and local utility providers.

These programs can help lower your upfront costs and often stack with the federal tax credit.

For example:

  • CenterPoint Energy offers rebates for qualifying high-efficiency furnaces, boilers, and water heaters.
  • Xcel Energy provides rebates for efficient air conditioners, heat pumps, and smart thermostats.

Depending on your equipment and provider, you could save hundreds or even thousands more on your upgrade.

How to Claim Your HVAC Savings

Claiming your federal tax credit is simple when you work with High Road Heating & Cooling. We’ll walk you through the process and provide all the required documentation, including:

  • Installation invoice
  • Manufacturer’s certification statement
  • Proof of energy efficiency rating

We make it easy to get every dollar you qualify for—no guesswork required.

Real Example: How the Savings Stack Up

Let’s say your new high-efficiency HVAC system costs $8,000 to install.

  • Federal Tax Credit: $3,200
  • Utility Rebates: $1,000 (estimated average)
  • Your out-of-pocket cost: about $3,800

Add in lower monthly energy bills, and your system can practically pay for itself over time—while keeping your home more comfortable than ever.
