Deductions & credits
The Home Energy Credit is only for improvements to your main residence.
Any energy improvements made to rental homes can be entered as a Rental Asset, and either claimed in full as an expense (depending the the cost) or depreciated over the years. You add the cost to the Basis of the property to reduce capital gain when you sell.
