2009-2010 Energy Tax Credit

Has anyone done any thorough research on this? There are a couple of issues for which I can't seem to find a precise answer.

1. Can the tax credit of $1500 be used each year, 2009 and 2010? Or is it $1500 total for both years?

2. One website indicated that the cost of installation could be included. But, on another website, it indicated the credit could be taken on the cost of the product only.

Thanks

Also, you will want to check with your specific state as many have supplemental tax credits in addition to the federal ones.

The only time I've heard of anyone attempting to get all of these energy star credits was 5 years ago when my brother in law built his house. He did everything that was spelled out. Had an inspector come and validate the heat loss and ventilation even. The inspector was very impressed with his hydronic heat, extreme insulation and sealing of the house. Was all set to give him the OK until he saw the heat source aside from the downstairs oil boiler, a dreaded nasty OWB. Until that boiler was disconnected permanently there would be no tax credits.

Still isn't to this day but his house is pretty warm. Just more jumping through hoops, that control mentality.
