Tax Credits for Energy Efficient Home Improvements
The recently signed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 made some significant changes to energy efficiency tax credits*. The tax credits apply to improvements made during 2009 and 2010 for select HVAC, Windows, Doors, and Roofing projects.
Tax Incentives Increased
The maximum tax credit has been raised to $1,500 for the two years. Some improvements, such as geothermal heat pumps, are not subject to the $1,500 maximum.
