Does a new central air system qualify for the energy tax credit in 2019?

[qbteachmt]

It depends on the specifications of the system and if this is residential or commercial. Did you look it up at the IRS website?

If your talking non business residential, yes if seer 14 or higher

To claim the credit, on which line of form 5695 do you input the cost of the new central air ?

Thank You
