How the Program Works
As part of an effort to reduce dependence on foreign sources of energy, the federal government provides tax credits to help offset the costs of making energy efficiency improvements to your home. This program has changed somewhat for 2011 to reduce credits while still providing incentives to homeowners.
2011 Changes to Federal Tax Credits Available for Qualifying Residential Systems
Federal tax credits on qualifying, high-efficiency HVAC equipment have been modified and extended through December 31, 2011 by the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. This program differs from the program effective in 2009-2010 in the following ways:
- The maximum amount an eligible homeowner may receive in tax credits for purchasing qualifying products, whether those purchases are in the form of upgraded insulation, windows, HVAC equipment or other eligible improvements, is now $500.
- The $500 cap is reduced by the total amount of residential energy property credits a homeowner has claimed for purchases between 2006 and 2010. If you have already claimed credits of $500 or more from improvements made prior to 2011, you will be unable to claim new credits for improvements made during 2011.
- All furnaces and boilers, whether natural gas, propane or oil, must have an AFUE of 95 or above to be eligible for the credit.
- The credit is now equal to an amount not to exceed:
| Maximum Tax Credit Available | Product Type | Efficiency Requirements |
| $50 | Any advanced main air circulating fan | *See below |
| $150 | Natural gas, propane, oil furnace or boiler | 95% AFUE |
| $300 | Split system air conditioner | 16 SEER / 13 EER |
| $300 | Split system heat pump | 15 SEER / 12.5 EER / 8.5 HSPF |
| $300 | Package air conditioner | 14 SEER / 12 EER |
| $300 | Package heat pump | 14 SEER / 12 EER / 8 HSPF |
| $300 | Package gas / electric | 14 SEER / 12 EER |
Geothermal system tax credits are unaffected by these changes and remain in place as is through 12/31/2016.
