People who install energy efficiency systems may not only save themselves money over the long haul, but thanks to federal tax credits, they could save money now as well. But these credits may not be what you thought they were.
For example, those who filed their taxes for 2010 were the last were able to take advantage of most of the residential tax credits. This includes credits for doors, roofs, insulation, HVAC and windows. Despite this, the tax credit for solar water heaters and solar panels remains in effect through Dec. 31, 2011.
The tax credits for the energy efficiency systems that deal with solar power are available for those who installed systems that were placed into service from January 1, 2006 to Dec. 31, 2011. The tax credit is equal to 30 percent of the system. The cap for this is at $2,000.
Energy efficiency systems can come in many forms, but it is important to make sure the systems meet federal mandates if you are hoping to receive tax credits.
