On October 3, 2008, President Bush signed into law the "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008." This bill extended tax credits for energy efficient home improvements (windows, doors, roofs, insulation, HVAC, and water heaters). Tax credits for these residential products, which had expired at the end of 2007, will now be available for improvements made during 2009. However, improvements made during 2008 are not eligible for a tax credit.

The products that are covered by the tax credit in 2009 include:

  • insulation
  • windows (including storm windows)
  • skylights
  • doors (including patio & sliding glass)
  • metal roofs
  • asphalt roofs
  • Central air conditioners
  • Air source heat pumps
  • Geo-thermal heat pumps
  • Gas, Oil, or Propane Furnace or Hot Water Boiler
  • Advanced Main Air Circulating Fans
  • Gas, Oil or Propane Water Heaters
  • Electric Heat Pump Water Heaters
  • Solar Water Heaters
  • Photovoltaic Systems (solar panels)
  • Fuel Cells

Products not covered by the tax credit included:

  • refrigerators
  • dishwashers
  • clothes washers
  • Room air conditioners
  • Ceiling fans
  • Programmable thermostats
