| Amount of Tax Credit: | 30% of the installed cost of qualifying equipment, up to a maximum of $1,500 total for 2009 and 2010 combined.

| How to Claim Tax Credit: | Specific information on how to claim the tax credit should be obtained directly from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Do all ENERGY STAR® products qualify?![]() |
No, not all. The minimum efficiencies for this new tax credit are higher than the minimum requirements to qualify for the ENERGY STAR designation. Some ENERGY STAR equipment meets tax credit minimums; some does not. Check the manufacturer's certification statement carefully to be sure. |
| Where to find the Manufacturer's Certification Statement: | |
| Do third-party coils qualify when installed with a KeepRite outdoor unit? | International Comfort Products, LLC, does not rate its outdoor sections with third-party indoor sections (coils) and thus is not able to certify such combinations. The third-party manufacturer of the indoor section may elect to rate such combinations and to provide certification statements.
