NHSaves Weatherization and Home Energy Programs

NHSaves Program Options

NHSaves offers multiple paths depending on your utility, home details, energy usage, and sometimes household income. Below are three common program paths. Use the prequalifier tool to estimate which ones may fit your situation.

Home Energy Performance

Type: Non income based

Whole-home weatherization starting with an energy assessment. Improvements may include air sealing, insulation, duct improvements, ventilation, water heating upgrades, and in many cases heating and cooling system improvements.

Typical amounts

  • Energy assessment: $500 value offered for $100 (often credited back if work moves forward)
  • Incentives: up to $6,000 (based on eligibility)
  • Financing: low to no interest loans up to $15,000

Best for: Most homeowners and property owners who want comfort improvements and lower bills.

Income Eligible Energy Assistance

Type: Income based

Enhanced benefits for qualifying households. Designed to help complete needed efficiency improvements with significantly higher support. May apply to eligible homeowners and renters (property approval may be required).

Typical amounts

  • Enhanced incentives for approved work (can be significantly higher than standard programs)
  • In some cases may cover up to 100 percent of approved work, subject to program rules and eligibility

Best for: Households that may qualify by income and want maximum support.

Rental Property Path

Type: Renters and landlords

Many NHSaves improvements can apply to rental properties. Renters may be able to participate, but landlord approval is often required because the work improves the building. Landlords benefit from fewer comfort complaints and a better performing unit.

Typical benefits

  • Reduced drafts and uneven temperatures for tenants
  • Lower energy waste and improved building performance
  • Potential access to incentives and financing depending on the program path and property

Best for: Landlords, property managers, and renters who want a more comfortable, efficient unit.

Federal Home Energy Tax Credits

Current Status (2026)

Important: The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit ended for systems and improvements placed in service after 12/31/2025.

If you installed in 2025, keep reading. You may still be able to claim the credit on your 2025 tax return. This page is not tax advice, and we recommend confirming details with a tax professional.

Installed in 2025? Here is what homeowners could claim for that year

For improvements placed in service during 2025, the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit allowed 30 percent of qualified project costs, subject to annual limits.

Annual limits that mattered most for HVAC

  • Up to $2,000 total per year for qualifying heat pumps and heat pump water heaters (and certain biomass equipment)
  • Up to $600 per item for qualifying central air conditioners, furnaces, boilers, and certain water heaters
  • Up to $600 for a qualifying electrical panel or related electrical upgrades when installed with, and enabling, a qualifying equipment installation
  • Total combined annual maximum across categories was up to $3,200

What customers should save for taxes

  • Final paid invoice showing equipment make and model, installation address, and install date
  • Manufacturer documentation including the Qualified Manufacturer Identification Number (QMID) for 2025 installs
  • Any supporting efficiency certification documents for the specific product category

QMID Codes for 2025 Tax Credit Documentation

Some manufacturers provide a Qualified Manufacturer Identification Number (QMID) that may be required when claiming certain federal energy tax credits for equipment installed in 2025. This code helps identify the manufacturer when completing tax forms and documentation.

Important: For Amana and Daikin, the first character is the letter “I” (capital i), not the number “1”.
Brand QMID Notes
Amana I7Q6 First character is a letter “I”.
American Standard B8T9
Weil McLain 46H2
Bosch K3M2
Daikin I7Q6 First character is a letter “I”.
LG S8T5
Mitsubishi E8X7
Navien M6G5
Rheem K3A8
Rinnai S6A2

Keep your paid invoice and any manufacturer certification statements with your tax records. If you are unsure which brand or model was installed, contact us and we can help you confirm it.

To claim, homeowners generally file IRS Form 5695 with their federal return for the year the equipment was placed in service.
