Federal Tax incentives – Frequent Questions about Tax Credits

Are there any consumer tax credits for 2009?

President Bush signed the “Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008″ into law on October 3rd of 2008. The act included an extension of tax credits for residents which had previously been in effect for 2006 and 2007, used for energy efficient improvements. The earlier act expired December 31, 2007. This new act is only for improvement made during the 2009 calendar year and 2008 improvements are not eligible for tax credits.

Residential HVAC products including: Central A/C, Air Source Heat Pumps, Geothermal Heat Pumps, Gas-Oil-Propane Furnaces, and Water Heaters are eligible for tax credits anywhere from $50-$300 and for Geothermal Heat pumps, the tax credit is 30% of the cost of the system, up to $2000.

Keep in mind however, that there are specific requirements and restrictions for the times these items are placed in service, as well as efficiency ratings. Not all furnaces or central ac systems or heat pumps will qualify. As a general rule, 95% efficiency furnaces, 15 SEER Central AC systems, 14 SEER Packaged systems, 15 SEER Air Source Heat Pumps and certain water heaters qualify.
