This includes a wide array of Energy Star-certified equipment such as air-source heat pumps, boilers, central air conditioners, and furnaces. The credit is calculated as 30% of the cost of purchasing and installing qualified energy-efficient improvements, with specific caps depending on the type of equipment.
