Hello ira24601,

The central air installation should meet the ENERGYSTAR ratings and the credit is limited 30% with an overall limit of $600.

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks again,

You can claim up to 30% of the purchase price of each energy efficient home improvement, but not more than the limit for each type of equipment.  The limit for an air conditioner is $600.   However, there is also an annual total limit of $1200 per year.  So if you want to plan your home improvements, you can take advantage of this credit for several years!  Here's a great article with details on the limits.
