2011 TAX CREDITS

By: Robin - March 15th, 2011  Filed under: Latest News, Money Saving Ideas

For equipment installed between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011, the following tax credits are available:

  • High efficiency furnaces and boilers – $150
  • Air Conditioners and heat pumps – $300
  • Main air circulating fans – $50
  • Energy efficient water heaters – $300

The $500 cap will apply to anyone who received the credit from Jan. 1, 2005 to present. Thus if you’ve claimed a cumulative credit of $500 or more of the tax credit since Jan. 1, 2005, you won’t be eligible for the 2011 extension. If you’ve claimed less than $500, you are eligible for the difference with qualifying equipment.
