WOODLAND PARK, NJ - With spring arriving across New Jersey, homeowners in Passaic County have a narrow window to take advantage of federal tax credits before summer installation demand makes scheduling difficult. Under the Inflation Reduction Act, qualifying air conditioning and heat pump installations completed in 2026 remain eligible for a federal tax credit of up to 30 percent of installation costs - but only through December 31, 2026. M&S Technician, a licensed HVAC contractor based in Woodland Park, is urging homeowners to get evaluations scheduled now, while contractors still have availability and before the credits expire.
The federal tax credit, available through the Inflation Reduction Act's 25C provision, covers high-efficiency central air conditioners, heat pumps, and qualifying ductless mini-split systems. To claim the credit, the installed equipment must meet minimum efficiency standards - SEER2 and EER2 ratings specified by the Department of Energy. A qualified HVAC contractor can confirm whether a specific system qualifies before installation begins.
“A lot of homeowners don’t realize these credits are still available, or they assume the deadline is far off,” said Saadeh Saadeh, owner of M&S Technician. “Spring is genuinely the best time to do this. You’re not rushed, your current system isn’t running around the clock yet, and we can take the time to properly evaluate the home and recommend the right equipment. By July, our schedule is full and lead times on equipment get longer.”
Beyond the tax credit deadline, spring offers practical advantages for cooling system upgrades. Pre-summer installations allow homeowners to run the new system for several weeks before peak heat arrives - identifying any adjustments needed while temperatures are still manageable. For homes without existing ductwork, ductless mini-split systems offer efficient zone-by-zone cooling without the cost and disruption of adding ducts, and many models qualify for the full federal credit.
M&S Technician offers the cooling services in Passaic County that North Jersey homeowners need heading into summer - including central AC installation and replacement, ductless mini-split system installation, heat pump systems, AC repair, and seasonal maintenance. The company holds a New Jersey HVAC contractor license and carries full insurance on all installations.
For homeowners whose current AC system is more than 12 to 15 years old, this spring is an opportune time to evaluate whether an upgrade makes financial sense. Older systems operate at significantly lower efficiency levels than current models, and the energy savings from a new high-efficiency unit - combined with the available federal credit - can substantially reduce the total cost of ownership over the system’s lifespan.
“We’re not trying to push anyone into a purchase they don’t need,” Saadeh added. “But if a system is aging and a homeowner is going to replace it eventually, doing it this spring - while the tax credit is still in effect and before summer - just makes more sense financially. We walk through the numbers with every homeowner so they can make an informed decision.”
Homeowners in Woodland Park, Clifton, Wayne, Totowa, Little Falls, Hawthorne, Passaic, and surrounding Passaic County communities can contact M&S Technician directly to schedule a spring cooling system evaluation. Appointments are available now, ahead of peak summer demand.
