Yes, a new central air conditioning system can qualify, but only if it meets IRS energy-efficiency standards.

 

Under the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, certain high-efficiency central AC units are eligible for a credit (not a deduction), subject to limits.

 

Make sure the unit meets CEE/ENERGY STAR requirements and keep the manufacturer’s certification for your records.
