2011
TAX CREDITS FOR HIGH-EFFICIENCY
HEATING AND COOLING EQUIPMENT

In December 2010, the U.S. Congress passed a 2011 tax extender bill for federal tax payers who install qualified energy-efficient retrofits in their home. This includes higher efficiency heating and cooling systems, such as central air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps and packaged systems. These credits are only available for improvements made in 2011.

• Up to 10% of installed costs ($300 limit) for central split-system air conditioners meeting or exceeding 16 SEER and 13 EER.
  
  
• Up to 10% of installed costs ($300 limit) for split-system air-source heat pumps meeting or exceeding 15 SEER, 12.5 EER and 8.5 HSPF.
  
  
• Up to 10% of installed costs ($300 limit) for package air conditioners and gas packs meeting or exceeding 14 SEER and 12 EER.
  
  
• Up to 10% of installed costs ($300 limit) for packaged heat pumps and dual-fuel packaged systems meeting or exceeding 14 SEER, 12 EER and 8 HSPF.
  
  
• Up to 10% of installed costs ($150 limit) for furnaces meeting or exceeding 95% AFUE.
  
  
• Up to 10% of installed costs ($50 limit) for advanced main air circulating fan.

For the advanced main air circulating fan credit, the fan must use no more than 2% of the furnace's total energy. If the fan is qualified, but the furnace is not, you will not be able to take 10% off the cost of the entire furnace. Ask your dealer to break out the cost of the fan in your invoice. You can get a 10% tax credit (up to $50) on the cost of the fan alone. If the furnace is qualified, but the fan is not, you can still take the 10% tax credit on the full cost of the furnace.

If you have taken more than $500 in 25c tax credits since January 1, 2005, you are ineligible for any further credits. Please consult your tax advisor for full details.
