Federal Grants for Residential Oil Boiler Replacement
The federal government offers a tax credit of up to $1,500 or 30 percent of the cost of the new furnace if it is a fuel efficient model. This tax credit can only be used on existing primary residences. Claim this tax credit by filing IRS Tax Form 5695 when filing your taxes. Save your purchase receipts. The manufacturer of the new boiler needs to provide a statement that indicates the new product is fuel efficient. This tax credit is not only for upgrading oil furnaces. It can be used on purchases of energy efficient air cooling systems, insulation, roofing and exterior window replacement.
