Unlock Energy Tax Credits for Homeowners
Homeowners can now benefit from recently signed legislation by investing in high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment.
Introduction
With the Energy Policy Act of 2005, signed by President Bush in August, homeowners have the opportunity to receive tax credits of up to $300 when purchasing eligible high-efficiency heating, cooling, and water heating systems.
Tax Credit Details
The act outlines the criteria for tax credits:
- Gas, oil, and propane furnaces and boilers: $150 credit
- Central air conditioning units, including heat pumps: $300 credit
- High-efficiency fans for systems: $50 credit
- Water heaters, including heat pump models: $300 credit
Equipment Qualifications
To determine eligibility for tax credits, manufacturers and retailers can provide guidance. Key efficiency standards include:
- Furnaces and boilers: AFUE of 95 or higher
- Central air-conditioning units: SEER of 15 and EER of 12.5
- Air-source heat pumps: HSPF of 9+, SEER of 15+, EER of 13+
