How to get paid for energy-efficient upgrades

If you purchase an energy-efficient product or renewable energy system for your home, you may be eligible for a federal tax credit. You have until the end of the year to qualify for up to $1,500 in federal tax credits worth 30% of the cost of qualifying energy-efficient upgrades. This includes windows and doors, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, insulation, biomass stoves, metal and asphalt roofs and non-solar water heaters. Companies like Energy Star distinguishes energy efficient products which, although they may cost more to purchase than standard models, will pay you back in lower energy bills within a reasonable amount of time. Depending on what products you have purchased and when you purchased them determines the tax credit you receive and which form you need to fill out.
