The Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit will now go through 2020. This can qualify you for credits for energy-efficient home improvements, like updated heating and cooling equipment, water heaters and heat pumps.
What Equipment is Eligible?
To become eligible for the reduction, the home should be the taxpayer’s primary residence in the USA. The improvement should have a life of at least five years, with the initial use originating with the taxpayer.
