Are tax credits available for installing more energy efficient systems?
Yes, federal energy efficiency tax credits have been extended for another year (2009). These tax credits allow you to deduct a percentage of the value of specific measures such as insulation and heating system/air conditioner replacement. For more information visit the Tax Incentives Assistance Project at http://www.energytaxincentives.org/consumers/insulation_etc.php or the Energy Star website on this topic at http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfmc=products.pr_tax_credits. A comprehensive home energy assessment will help you decide which eligible improvements will have the greatest impact for your home.
