Short answer: The federal tax credits are gone for 2026 installs. The 30% Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C, heat pumps and insulation) and the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D, solar, batteries and geothermal) don't apply to anything installed after December 31, 2025. State and utility rebates are now the main help: up to $10,000 or more for a heat pump in New York, up to $8,500 in Massachusetts, and utility rebates in California and Vermont.
