Do you know that the $1500

Federal Tax Credit for High Efficiency HVAC systems

will expire at the end of the year?

Do you support HARDI’s petition to extend the

Residential Energy Efficiency Tax Credit?

Background:

In February of 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) modified and expanded the tax credits available to homeowners who make qualified energy efficiency improvement to their primary residences including the installation of 95% AFUE gas furnaces, 16 SEER, 13 EER central air conditioners, and 15 SEER, 12.5 EER, and 8.5 HSPF split air source heat pumps.

Recommendation:

These tax credits will expire the end of 2010 and need to be extended to spur continued recovery and growth. Homeowners remain strapped and consumer financing options are limited so every incentive possible is needed to help installations of the most efficient, energy-saving HVAC systems. We recommend that these tax credits be extended to non-residential customers such as the thousands of small businesses that rely on residential-type heating and cooling equipment for their stores and offices.

Call to Action:

We urge Congress to extend the 25C residential energy tax credits for two years and to expand access to these tax credits to small businesses that use the same qualifying HVAC systems in commercial settings.
