What this bill does
- This bill doubles the tax credit limit for heat pumps and biomass heating systems from $2,000 to $4,000 per home.
- Homeowners who install qualifying energy-efficient heating equipment can claim larger tax credits on their returns.
- The change applies immediately to eligible installations and reduces the out-of-pocket cost for households upgrading heating systems.
