Yes, a commercial heating and cooling installation is generally tax deductible. If you’re in Suffolk County, you can often deduct the full cost of the equipment and installation (the total bill) in the same year it was put into service. Deductions like this were clarified in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. Long Island business owners can modernize their facilities at lower costs.
Limits on Tax Deductions in 2026
HVAC equipment like air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces, and boilers are covered under the IRS Section 179 Tax Deduction. Designed to help businesses lower their costs on equipment placed into service, the deduction is capped at $2,560,000 for systems installed and operational by December 31st, 2026 (cumulative amount of all claims, including HVAC).
Deductible HVAC installation costs can include:
- Professional labor.
- HVAC hardware.
- Ductwork and ventilation.
- Electronic and control upgrades.
- Crane and rigging fees (for rooftop installations).
- Permits and inspections.
If you own and operate a small or medium-sized business in Suffolk County, this deduction will typically cover any type of HVAC installation.
Soundview HVAC helps streamline your claim process by:
- Providing detailed invoices.
- Ensuring all costs are accurate.

How We Make HVAC Solutions More Efficient for Suffolk County Businesses
We ensure cost-efficient commercial heating by performing detailed load calculations and choosing the right equipment for the facility. Over and undersizing are significant issues in commercial HVAC design.
Our commercial HVAC installations are:
- Designed to suit the needs of the building, looking at all relevant factors like construction materials and insulation values, to room layouts and daily traffic/occupancy.
- Intended to integrate with existing solutions. For example, in a commercial office with passive radiators, we will recommend a boiler replacement, rather than redesigning with a different technology that would add to your costs.
- Energy efficient from the ground up. We always aim for efficiency by sizing correctly, using high-efficiency heating and cooling units, and optimizing things like pipe routing, ductwork, and airflow. Optimization helps to minimize system wear, maintenance, repairs, and operational costs from electrical or fuel consumption.
- Focused on your needs. We take the time to listen to your concerns and requirements. Your comfort is paramount. Sometimes climate control is directly related to operations, in cases where it affects product quality and stability, or customer experience. Whatever your unique needs are, we will customize HVAC solutions to suit them and your budget.
