2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act

Energy Efficiency Tax Credits

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed a stimulus bill (The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) that made some significant changes to the energy efficiency tax credits. The highlights are:

• Tax credits that were previously effective for 2009, have been extended to 2010 as well.
• Tax credit has been raised from 10% to 30% with a max credit of $1500
• Tax credits that were for a specific dollar amount (ex: $300 for an AC) have been converted to 30% of the cost, which includes installation.
• Furnaces incorporating an advanced Main Air Circulating Fan that uses no more than 2% of the furnace's total energy are eligible for a tax credit of up to 9% of the installed cost of the furnace, up to $1,500.
