When to call
If your AC AND furnace are both 12+ years old, replace both at once with a heat pump or hybrid. The federal §25C tax credit ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Pub. L. 119-21) and can no longer be claimed for 2026+ installs. AEP Ohio may still offer utility rebates — verify the current program before you sign.
