Extended Through 2016: Tax Credits for High-Efficiency Products

Keep in mind, though, that the lifetime limit for a household is $500. So, if you’ve ever filed for this tax credit before (they’ve been available since 2005), your total credit is limited to $500.

Eligible products that qualify for the extended Federal tax credits for energy efficiency

For these products, you’ll get back 10% of the cost of the energy-efficient product (up to $500) or a specific amount from $50 to $300.

Here’s the products the credit applies to and the specific tax credit amount:

• Air-source heat pumps ($300)
• Air conditioners ($300)
• Tank water heaters and tankless water heaters ($300)
• Natural gas, propane, or oil furnaces ($150)
• Boilers ($150)
• Insulation (10% of cost, up to $500)
• Metal and asphalt roofing (10% of cost up to $500)
• Windows and doors (10% of cost, up to $500, but windows are capped at $200)
• Advanced main air circulating fan ($50)
• Biomass stoves ($300)

To get the tax credits, each of these products needs to meet specific energy efficiency requirements.

You can see what those requirements are on ENERGY STAR’s website.
