In the latest episode of The Electrification Podcast, host and owner of Sensible Heating & Cooling, Phil Jensen, shares important updates about federal home energy incentives set to expire December 31, 2025. If you’ve been considering upgrading to a high-efficiency system, now is the time to act.

Through the Energy Efficiency Home Improvement Credit, homeowners can currently earn up to $3,200 a year in tax credits, including $1,200 for high-efficiency HVAC upgrades and $2,000 for heat pumps. These savings can make a big difference—but once the federal incentives end in 2025, they’re gone for good.

Phil also reminds listeners that state and local rebates are still available and can often be combined with federal programs for even more savings. Many energy companies are encouraging customers to transition to cleaner, more efficient systems, making electrification both smart and sustainable.

With over a decade of experience, Sensible’s team of trained technicians are experts in heat pump and geothermal installations. Replacing an air conditioner with an air source heat pump (ASHP) provides both heating and cooling in one system—an efficient, long-term investment for your home.

Whether you’re ready to make the switch or just exploring your options, Sensible is here to help you understand your choices and make the most of these limited-time incentives.

This edition of the Electrification Podcast dives into a topic every homeowner should care about: AC Service Calls and Buyer Beware. Hosted by Phil Jensen, owner and co-host of Sensible Heating & Cooling, this episode shines a light on what really happens when your air conditioning system needs service in the middle of summer.

Phil explains that a consistent service plan can make all the difference. With regular maintenance, a typical AC service call takes about an hour. But without it, a technician may spend several hours working to ensure your system is running properly—especially when breakdowns happen in extreme heat. That’s why servicing AC units during hot weather is the best way to see how equipment performs under pressure.

Listeners will also hear Phil’s candid stories from the field, including what happens when technicians are called out on emergency service calls. Beyond the technical side, this episode takes on another important issue: how to recognize and avoid “too good to be true” HVAC deals. At the 6:00 mark, Phil shares tips on spotting red flags and at 8:40, he breaks down real examples of less-than-honest practices Sensible has seen over the years—contrasting them with the true Sensible Service Call experience.
