Confirm the expense qualifies for the correct credit and year, and that it was entered in correctly. 

Energy credits don’t usually increase your refund because most home energy credits are nonrefundable, meaning they can reduce your tax liability to $0 but won’t generate a refund by themselves. If your tax was already reduced by withholding, dependents, or other credits, there may be little or no tax left for the energy credit to offset.
