Renewable Energy

Energy is the future, make it brilliant.

Residential Clean Energy Credit

Credit Details: - *Amount*: 30% of the cost of installing renewable energy systems, including geothermal heat pumps, which are similar to mini-splits in their efficiency and use of natural resources.

Cost of Mini-Split Systems

Typical Costs: - *Initial Costs*: The cost of installing a mini-split system varies widely based on factors such as the size of the unit, the number of indoor units, and installation complexity. On average, the cost can range from $3,000 to $7,000 per zone. - *Single-Zone System*: Approximately $3,000 to $5,000. - *Multi-Zone System*: Approximately $4,000 to $7,000 per zone.

Example Calculation for Tax Credit

*Single-Zone System Cost*: $4,000 - *Eligible Credit*: 30% of $4,000 = $1,200 (meeting the maximum limit for the credit) - *Multi-Zone System Cost*: $10,000 (for two zones) - *Eligible Credit*: 30% of $10,000 = $3,000 (but limited to $1,200 due to the annual cap)

Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C)

Credit Details

Amount: The credit is worth 30% of the cost of eligible energy-efficient improvements, up to a maximum of $1,200 per year. - Eligible Improvements: This includes HVAC systems, such as mini-split heat pumps, which are known for their energy efficiency.

Specifics for Mini-Split Systems

Heat Pumps: Mini-split heat pumps are eligible for the credit. These systems are efficient because they provide both heating and cooling and do not require ductwork, reducing energy loss.

Example Scenario

Suppose an HOA plans to install mini-split systems in 10 units within the community. Each unit requires a single-zone mini-split system costing $4,000.

Total Cost - Tax Credit

*10 Units x $4,000*: $40,000 - *30% of $40,000*: $12,000 (but limited to $1,200 per unit, thus $12,000 for 10 units)

Join the Energy Efficiency Movement!

By utilizing the tax credits available through the Inflation Reduction Act, the HOA can significantly reduce the upfront costs of installing energy-efficient mini-split systems, leading to long-term savings and enhanced energy efficiency for the community.
