In this episode of Accelerated HVAC Success, guest Matt Baker, National Manager of Energy Efficiency and Electrification Programs at Daikin North America, discusses key updates around energy incentives and rebates that contractors need to know before the year ends. Matt highlights that the federal tax credit for high-efficiency HVAC products—specifically the 25C program—will sunset on December 31st, meaning homeowners can still claim up to a $2,000 tax credit next year if they act now. He emphasizes the importance of educating customers about this limited-time opportunity and advises dealers to then pivot their focus toward rebate programs as we move into the new year. Matt also introduces the Daikin Energy Rebate Center (DERC), a powerful online tool designed to help contractors identify, submit, and collect available rebates in their area. Currently active in 35 states and connected to 155 programs, DERC simplifies the process of stacking rebates to reduce overall project costs. With its ability to automate data collection and streamline submissions—free to use up until submission—DERC provides a major advantage for contractors looking to maximize savings for their customers and boost sales in an increasingly efficiency-driven market.
