Rebates & Credits
HVAC Rebates, Tax Credits & Energy Incentives
At Brian’s Mechanical, we want to help you save money—not just through energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, but also through available rebates, tax credits, and utility incentives offered here in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
If you’re planning to upgrade your HVAC system, improve indoor air quality, or boost your home’s energy efficiency, don’t leave money on the table. We’re here to help you take advantage of every opportunity to save.
Federal Energy Tax Credits (IRA - Inflation Reduction Act)
As part of the Inflation Reduction Act, the federal government now offers tax credits for homeowners who invest in qualified energy-efficient HVAC equipment.
You may be eligible for up to:
- $2,000 in federal tax credits for qualifying heat pumps, central air conditioners, or gas furnaces
- Additional credits for air sealing, insulation, and smart thermostats
All equipment must meet specified energy-efficiency standards (such as ENERGY STAR® certified systems). Brian’s Mechanical installs and services a wide range of qualifying equipment and can guide you through the documentation needed to claim your credit.
Tip: Talk to your tax professional to ensure eligibility and proper filing.
South Carolina State Rebates & Utility Incentives
In addition to federal credits, South Carolina utility providers offer rebates that help offset the cost of energy-efficient upgrades. As a local HVAC contractor, Brian’s Mechanical will help you identify the rebates available based on your location and system type.
Santee Cooper Rebates
Santee Cooper, a major energy provider in the Lowcountry, offers generous incentives through their Smart Energy program. Homeowners and business owners who make qualified improvements may be eligible for rebates such as:
- Up to $400 for high-efficiency HVAC systems
- Up to $300 for heat pumps with proper installation
- Rebates for duct sealing, air sealing, and insulation upgrades
Eligibility requires pre-approval and installation by a participating contractor—like Brian’s Mechanical. We’ll assist you with the application and handle the paperwork.
