The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit provides a tax credit for eligible heat pumps up to 30% of project costs, capped at $2,000.

The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit makes it more affordable for Americans to install a heat pump and complete other upgrades to improve home energy efficiency.

If you’re interested in upgrading to a heat pump and would like to claim the 25C tax credit, talk to your contractor before you start the project. A contractor can help you understand whether installing a qualifying heat pump makes sense for your home and, if it does, they can assist you in meeting the requirements to use the tax credit later.

There are no income limitations for the 25C Tax Credit — but like nearly all federal tax credits, you can only use it if you pay federal income taxes, and the amount you can receive is limited by the amount of federal income tax you pay in a year.

Unlike unbalanced tires, shaking caused by a bad wheel bearing should be obvious from the side of the car where the bearing is failing.

Generally, you must subtract any price adjustments from the cost of the item. This can mean rebates, utility subsidies, financial incentives, and anything else that lowers the price point. This part can get a little tricky, so be sure to check the frequently asked questions about energy efficient home improvements and residential clean energy property credits for more information.

Simply stated, wheel bearings allow cars and trucks to run smoother and more efficiently by reducing friction and supporting vehicle weight. When they start to fail, you can usually tell.

The average cost to replace a sealed wheel hub bearing is $350 per wheel. However, depending on the make and model, shop labor rate, the cost of the bearing itself and any additional damage, the total could exceed $1,000.

You can service or replace tapered wheel bearings yourself. Never reuse any wheel bearing that’s loose, worn, noisy or shows any signs of wear.

The federal government recently passed a law that offers all households who pay federal income taxes up to a $2,000 credit for the installation of a qualifying heat pump.

The cage and rollers are held together inside a hardened metal ring called a “race.” The seal keeps grease in and damaging water and debris out. Wheel bearings are installed inside, and secured to, the suspension, either by press fit, bolts or a snap-ring. Once mounted, the wheel bearing rides on the axle shaft, allowing the tire/wheel to spin effortlessly.

Find out how much you could save with tax credits and rebates for heat pumps, water heaters, electric vehicles, electric stoves, rooftop solar, wiring upgrades, and energy efficiency improvements to your home.

One piece of good news: the IRS has said that to claim the credit, you can rely on the manufacturer’s written certification that a product qualifies. So if the manufacturer's website lists a certain heat pump as eligible for 25C, that’s all you need! Make sure you screenshot it and keep it for your records.

There are other incentives that you may qualify for. Our incentive calculator will show you a personalized list of incentives.

NOTE: Whether you DIY or your mechanic replaces the bearing, always install a new axle hub nut. Most hub nuts are prevailing torque fasteners, used on critical components (like securing axle shafts to hub bearings) where a loose nut could lead to disastrous consequences.

You can only apply for and claim the 25C tax credit for energy upgrades in the year in which a project is completed. For example: if you purchased your equipment in late 2023 but had it installed in 2024, you have to file the tax credit with your 2024 tax return.

Absolutely not. It’s crucial to get bad wheel bearings diagnosed and replaced ASAP. If not, you could lose a wheel or get in an accident.

Friction from a failing wheel bearing produces heat. After driving, without touching the tires or wheels, carefully walk around your vehicle and use a non-touch thermometer to measure if one is hotter than the others.

The 25C tax credit is designed to encourage Americans to purchase high-efficiency equipment. Specifically, eligible heat pumps must meet or exceed the highest efficiency tier (not including any advanced tiers) established by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE).

You’ll hear clicking, cracking, grinding, snapping, or whining noises coming from your wheels or tires. They’ll increase when accelerating or turning.

The good news is that there’s no lifetime cap, so you can continue to make efficiency upgrades year after year and claim credits for each year’s qualifying home improvements.

Efficiency standards and ratings can be difficult to evaluate yourself, so ask your contractor if your project qualifies for the 25C tax credit. Some manufacturer websites list tax credit-eligible equipment, as does the ENERGY STAR Product Finder. For the most comprehensive list of qualifying heat pump models, see CEE’s directory.

A bad wheel bearing can cause a tire/wheel to move or glide unevenly or sluggishly. It can also cause your brakes to drag, pulling your vehicle to one side when you try to stop.

Heat pumps are just one of the home improvements that may qualify for the 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. Projects like energy-efficient doors, insulation, and heat pump water heaters may qualify as well.

Determining machine eligibility is the most complicated part of using the heat pump tax credit. Before shopping around, confirm with your contractor that a heat pump is the right choice for you. If it is, confirm with your contractor whether a qualifying heat pump makes sense for your home.

But sealed wheel bearings are non-serviceable and should never be repaired, only replaced. Even if a pro suggests repairing a bearing, don’t let them. Trying to reuse a damaged wheel bearing can result in an accident and severe injury.

On many vehicles, the ABS sensor is built into the wheel bearing, or it’s externally mounted adjacent to the spinning part of the bearing where the sensor measures vehicle speed. Damaged from a wobbly wheel bearing, the sensor will send erratic readings to the vehicle’s computer, illuminating the ABS light.

The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit is limited to $2,000 per year for heat pump water heater installations, and there is a $3,200 yearly cap for all 25C tax credits combined.

The most challenging part of using this tax credit is figuring out if your heat pump qualifies. The appliance efficiency rules are not straightforward, and finding a good list of qualifying appliances is difficult. But don’t worry — we’ll explain how you can determine if you’re eligible for the heat pump tax credit, which heat pumps qualify, and how to use the tax credit.

Depending on the vehicle, you can save hundreds in labor replacing wheel bearings yourself. Most auto parts stores will lend you the specialty tools and equipment needed to replace a wheel bearing.

On modern front- and four-wheel drive cars, wheel bearings are a set of permanently sealed, precisely machined steel ball or straight roller bearings. The balls, or rollers, are encased in a “cage” that supports the bearings, allowing them to rotate freely.

According to Simes, a failing wheel bearing will likely produce a soft, faint vibration that’s felt before it’s heard. There may also be a vague rhythmic humming or droning sound that increases over time and with speed.

Read on to learn the most common bad wheel bearing symptoms, based on my experience (50 years in the industry) and that of Joe Simes, a National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certified and Toyota master technician. But first, a little background.

The 25C tax credit is “non-refundable,” which means that you can't get back more than you pay in federal income taxes. For example, if 30% of your project’s cost hits the $2,000 cap, but you only owe $1,000 in federal income taxes that year, you would receive a $1,000 credit.
