Home Energy Credits

I have a qualified furnace and air conditioner that I want to add for a home energy credit.  I'm at the "Enter your qualified energy property costs" page. What does it mean that we have to enter both "cost of the most expensive (product)" and "cost of all other (product)"? Where do we put in the cost we paid?

    If you only had one qualified furnace and air conditioner installed, then you would enter the cost you paid in the 'most expensive' box.  Leave the 'cost of all others' box blank since there were no others installed.  The credit will be calculated based on the amount entered in the 'most expensive' boxes.
