I searched this newsgroup for this subject and didn't find my answer.
Does someone know where I can get definitive requirements for qualifications for these tax credits.
I've just purchased a house and will be replacing a 1988 vintage roof-mounted AC/Heating Unit immediately since a 4" crack was found in the gas furnace heat exchanger. The seller credited me with the $1693 estimated cost to repair the unit so I could decide whether to repair or replace.
I've searched the internet and can find no specific requirements such as SEER rating and gas furnace efficiency. There also seems to be disagreement whether installation costs are included. Some sites state the "Installed Cost" but some installers say Equipment costs.
I also plan to replace all the exterior single pane windows and sliding doors under the same program. The qualification specs for the windows is documented but in this case I'm told only the window cost is covered -- but not labor.
could replace the AC/Heating system this year and the windows in 2010?
What I'm after is something as clear as that published for the Cash for Clunkers program.
Thanks ahead!
