    HVAC Tax Credit HELP.

    If I am in the wrong area please move. I read this thread, and it totally confused me. http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread....it+5695&page=6
    I currently just installed an HVAC system. Went to a 15 Seer system up at least two ratings. Awaiting confirmation from contractor as we had some problems with the identity of the original system serial numbers etc etc.
    Regardless, I ended up paying too much in taxes this year, so I will get a refund. But with the installation of the new HVAC, ducting etc at $$$$ plus dollars for my home, what kind of credit can I expect?

    It would have to meet the debt of energy's seer and eer ratings in order to qualify. Your contractor should be able to provide that information. If it's an ac model it would have to be 16 seer. The max would be 500 dollars. You should not need the old systems information at all unless there are some local utility rebates.

    It's all different depending on if it's a heat pump, central ac, pkg unit...did it have a variable speed blower (that's worth $50 by itself, use advanced main circulating fan). If it's a 95% afue gas furnace check with your local gas utility, they have a rebate program.

    In referencing US tax credits for appliances, you must be clear about the year in which the product was purchased. In 2010, it was a $1,500 credit for many of the high efficiency HVAC products. That dropped in 2011 to as low as zero dollars for some previously covered units but the maximum for any HVAC residential installations for 2011 is $350 for the unit and $50 for the ECM motor if installed. And for 2012.....dream on.
    If YOU want change, YOU have to first change.

    If you are waiting for the 'other guy' to change first, just remember, you're the 'other guy's' other guy. To continue to expect real change when you keep acting the same way as always, is folly. Won't happen. Real change will only happen when a majority of the people change the way they vote!
