Home Energy Credits

I am working on my son's taxes. He bought a house last year and did several updates that qualify for the home energy credit. I entered them and got the full $500 credit, but it did not change the return amount. He was already going to get a return because he overpaid in. I read that it covers taxed owed. I am confused by this.
