No one wants to cut a check to the government when Tax Day rolls around each year. Fortunately, if you made qualified energy-efficient improvements to your home this year, you may be eligible for the Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit. For more than 25 years, Northwind Heat & Air in Purcell, OK, has been making homes more energy efficient. A locally owned heating and air repair and installation company, Northwind Heat & Air is known for their high-quality repairs, installation, and maintenance.

The Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit (Section 25C) is a credit for qualified energy-efficient improvements, which include adding insulation, energy-efficient exterior windows and doors, and certain roofs. Additionally, a credit is available for certain high-efficiency heating and air condition systems, high-efficiency water heaters, and stoves that burn biomass fuel. The IRS extended the tax credit through Dec. 31, 2016; quality improvements placed in the taxpayer’s principal residence before then may qualify.

If you’re interested in making an improvement to your home’s heating and air conditioning this year, the experts at Northwind Heat & Air will help you find a heating and air conditioner installation package that qualifies for the credit. If you make improvements, such as adding insulation, energy-efficient exterior windows and doors, and certain roofs, there is a credit of 10% of the cost minus the installation fee. However, if you install certain high-efficiency heating and air conditioning systems, the cost of installation is included in the credit calculation.
