Old HVAC system

Is your business constantly shelling out cash for HVAC repairs? Or maybe you're dreading those high electric bills that seem to climb higher every month? If so, you're not alone—and better yet, there's a solution that literally pays you back.


Thanks to state and federal tax incentives, now is the best time to replace that aging, energy-hungry HVAC system with a smarter, more efficient setup that saves you money and gives you back a significant portion of your investment through tax credits.


👎 The Real Cost of Keeping an Old HVAC System

Let’s face it—running an outdated HVAC system is like driving a gas-guzzling car with a flat tire:

  • Frequent breakdowns and costly repairs

  • Sky-high energy bills

  • Unreliable performance, especially when you need it most

  • Potential downtime that disrupts your business


Sound familiar? You’re paying more than you should—and you’re getting less in return.


🔄 Time to Upgrade – And Get Paid for It

Here’s what most business owners don’t realize: when you install a high-efficiency or solar-powered HVAC system, you may qualify for both a federal and state tax credit.


🌎 Federal Business Energy Investment Tax Credit (ITC)


  • 30% credit on eligible systems


  • Bonus credits available for:

    • Projects in low-income areas

    • Use of domestic materials

    • Paying prevailing wages and hiring apprentices


  • Eligible systems include:

    • Solar HVAC integrations

    • Geothermal heat pumps

    • Energy storage systems



🌴 Hawai‘i Renewable Energy Technologies Income Tax Credit (RETITC)


  • 35% state credit on solar PV, solar thermal, or wind-powered systems

  • Commercial credit capped at $500,000 per system

  • Credit can be carried forward for 5 years



💡 Combined Incentives in Action

You can claim both, but here's how it works:


  • Federal law requires you to reduce your ITC basis by 50% of your expected state credit.

  • So, while you won’t get a clean 65%, your effective savings can still exceed 55–60% of your project’s total cost.


Example: For a $100,000 solar HVAC system:

  • $35,000 back via RETITC (state)

  • $24,750 back via ITC (federal)

Total incentive: $59,750—that’s 59.75% of your cost returned.



💡 Pair It with Smart Tech and Save Even More

At Alltemp, we specialize in energy-efficient HVAC systems bundled with smart tech and monitoring tools. Our remote monitoring and preventive maintenance service is just $30/month, or $15/month if you bundle it with a preventive plan.


You’ll get:

  • Remote access to monitor AC performance across locations

  • Real-time alerts before failures happen

  • Reduced downtime and lower repair costs

  • Optimized system performance for lower energy bills


📦 Bundle this service with a tax-credit eligible system, and your total yearly savings on energy, repairs, and taxes could easily hit thousands of dollars.



🚀 Now Is the Time

The 30% Federal ITC is locked in through 2032, and Hawai‘i’s 35% RETITC is still active—but every month you delay is a month of:


  • Overpaying for electricity

  • Paying out-of-pocket for repairs

  • Leaving state and federal incentives on the table
