Homeowners may qualify for energy tax credit if you make energy efficient improvements to your homes.

Home energy credits cannot be used for buying a new appliance. The energy tax credit is primarily attributable for insulation, an exterior door, exterior windows, hot water heaters, energy efficiant furnace and/or air conditioner, solar power, fuel cells, and certain types of roofs. Unfortunately, energy efficient washers and dryers do not qualify for the tax credit.
