the tax credits while great for someone remodeling, they are worthless if you are building your own home. My husband and I are building our own house and acting as GC. Even though the home is being built using lots of energy efficient materials, windows, insulation, metal roof, very efficient AC/heatpump, the list goes on. WE are not eligible. The house is new construction and energy credits are only available to BUILDERS. I contacted the IRS and was surprised to learn this. So we will have to be content with the rebates our energy company offers.
