Now is the time to improve the energy features of your house. During 2009/2010, you can recoup your investment by:
- lowering your energy bills; and
- saving up to $1,500 on your tax bill.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 allows tax credits for energy efficiency improvements. Homeowners may claim up to 30% of costs of all equipment purchased during the aggregate two-year period of 2009 and 2010, up to $1,500 total.
Tax credits for installations made in 2006 and 2007 are still limited to the previous law's $500. Any purchase made in 2008 is not eligible for this tax credit.
Eligible Improvements
Owners of existing homes receive a tax credit worth 30% of the cost of upgrading the efficiency of their home. The following improvements are eligible for the tax credit:
- Insulation materials and system
- Exterior doors and windows (including skylights)
- Roofs (metal and asphalt)
Performance and quality standards for tax credit eligibility vary by technology. See the ENERGY STAR web site for detailed information on qualifying products. |
