Energy Rebates: Save On Your Taxes in 2009 & 2010

05.14.09_TaxCredits.jpgWe have been thinking about a tankless water heater for a while. Taking two showers in a row is almost impossible with our traditional tank water heater. The government has added incentives to encourage homeowners to upgrade to energy efficient appliances, tankless water heaters, ENERGY STAR rated windows, roofing, and insulation. It will save you money in the long run and is good for the environment...

 
 

You can write off up to 30% of the original cost on any of the qualified energy efficient improvements with a limit of $1,500 in tax credits. Depending on what you want to replace, it could be a significant amount of money. The credit is extended for 2010 as well, which gives you more time to save up and commit to living green.

For more information on tax credits, visit the ENERGY STAR website.

I just got a new tankless water heater thanks to my tax refund, and I'm looking forward to getting the rebate on my taxes.

Windows and doors, insulation, solar energy systems, hybrid cars and more all can qualify for a tax credit, too. More info in the Q&A post from Kathy's Remodeling blog found here: http://marvinblog.com/link-love-carbon-offsets-remodeling-tax-credits-and-more
