As an incentive to conserve energy and the environment, homeowners are now eligible to receive a tax credit of
30% of the cost, up to $1,500 for investing in improvements such as a new Energy Star approved HVAC system.
Under The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed into law on February 19, 2009 by President
Obama, increased tax credits are offered to homeowners who make energy efficient home improvements during
2009 and 2010. Not only will you receive a great tax credit for upgrading to a more efficient HVAC system, but
according to Energy Star, you could cut your cooling and heating costs annually by as much as 20%. When you
consider the fact that Heating and Cooling constitutes for nearly half of a homes energy usage, this can amount to
a savings on your utility bill and a return on your investment.

Homeowners can also receive tax credits for other energy efficient home improvements which can be viewed on
Energy Star's website: http://www.energystar.gov

In order to claim the credit, taxpayers must use Form 5695 as directed by the IRS.

Improvements must be for your principal residence

You must save your Manufacturer Certification Statement .

Qualifying improvements must be made between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010 and can only be
claimed once during the two year period.

If the 30% of the total Improvements costs (including labor) does not reach the $1,500 limit, the remaining
credit can be applied toward other qualified improvements.
