On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the "Stimulus Bill" (The American Recoveryand Reinvestment Act of 2009) that made significant changes to the energy efficiency tax credits. These changes apply to products " placed in service" in 2009. The highlights are:

  • The tax credit that were previously effective for 2009, have been extended to 2010 as well.
  • The tax credits has been raised from 10% to 30%.
  • The tax credits that were for a specific dollar amount have been converted to 30% of the cost.
  • The maximum credit has been raised from $500 to $1500 total for the two year period (2009-2010). However some improvements such as geothermal heat pumps, and solar water heater are not subject to the 1500$ maximum.
  • The $200 cap on windows has been removed, but the requirements for windows (after June 1, 2009) has been increased significantly. Not all ENERGY STAR qualified windows will qualify after June, 1, 2009.
