I replaced the heat pump in my 2nd home for $8k before renting it out a few months later. Can I include the heat pump as a Sch E depreciable asset/expense?

Yes, the heat pump can be included as a depreciable asset on Schedule E for the rental. The heat pump is a component of the property and depreciated over 27.5 years for a residential rental property. You begin to depreciate your rental property when you place it in service for the production of income (when first rented).
