Additional Information About the 2009 Energy Tax Credits and Trane

Some – but not all – of Trane’s products may qualify for the tax credit. We have included a summary of the bill as it applies to residential HVAC equipment:

Split system air conditioning efficiency requirements – 16 SEER/13 EER (both efficiency levels must be met to qualify for the tax credit). Split system heat pump efficiency requirements – 15 SEER/12.5 EER/8.5 HSPF (all three efficiency levels must be met to qualify for the tax credit). Gas furnace qualifying levels – 95% AFUE. Packaged A/C, H/P, or dual fuel products – 14 SEER, 12 EER, 8 HSPF. Maximum tax credit amount - $1500. The legislation specifies 30% of the cost of qualifying equipment, including installation costs, subject to a $1500 maximum per homeowner. The tax credit is effective for all qualified systems installed from 1/1/2009 through 12/31/2010. The tax credit is only valid for taxpayers that own their home and it is used as the principal residence.
