$1,500 Tax Credit for Home Improvements.

If you are planning on doing any upgrades to your SLO County home in 2009 or 2010, check out the new tax credits for energy efficient home improvements.   You can get up to a $1,500 tax credit for:

  •  Heating/Air,
  • Windows,
  • Doors,
  • Insulation,
  • Water Heaters,
  • Biomass Stoves (what the heck is that?) and
  • Roofing projects. 

Geothermal heat pumps, solar water heaters, solar panels, fuel cells, and small wind energy systesm receive 30% of the cost and have no maximum limit.
