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 tankless b/c our water heater is going out, and both will bring us a credit for next tax season. Ask your tax prof. or look online at irs.gov if you're interested.
