Subject: To Diane RE: FeLV+ Adoption/ Foster Care I can't remember if this tax credit is good or not for room air conditioners (I know it is for big central units), but for 2006 taxes, there is a credit for using energy efficient models. We had to put a new unit in this summer, and are fixing to go
