Federal Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC)

Federal Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC) Only available for the 2009 tax year. The Home Renovation Tax Credit is a non-refundable tax credit based on eligible expenses for improvements to your house, condo or cottage. It can be claimed on your 2009 income tax return. It applies to eligible purchases made after January 27, 2009, and before February 1, 2010. The HRTC applies to eligible expenses of more than $1,000, but not more than $10,000, resulting in a maximum non-refundable tax credit of $1,350 [($10,000 - $1,000) × 15%]. Who is eligible for the HRTC? Eligibility for the HRTC is family based. The claim can be split among family members but the total amount claimed cannot exceed the maximum allowable. Iwo or more families share the ownership of an eligible dwelling, each family can claim its own credit (i.e., each up to $1,350) that is calculated on its respective eligible expenses. All expenses must be supported by receipts and acceptable documentation. Keep them in case we ask to see them. Eligible and ineligible expenses Considering the extensive number of eligible and ineligible expenses, it is no possible to provide a complete list. The reader is responsible to check the nformation and make sure he meets all required conditions upon asking the tax credit on his income tax report. Consult the Internet Site at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/sgmnts/hmwnr/hrtc/lgblty-prd-eng.html for the complete lists. The expenses are eligible when they are incurred in relation to renovations or alterations to an eligible dwelling (or the land that forms part of the eligible dwelling) and are permanent in nature. As a general rule, if the item you purchase will not become a permanent part of your home or property, it is not eligible. Some businesses or individuals may assert that certain items qualify for the HRTC. It is important to remember that you are responsible for ensuring that all eligibility requirements are met when you claim this credit on your tax return. Examples of eligible expenses * Renovating a kitchen, bathroom, or basement, windows and doors * New carpet or hardwood floors * New furnace, boiler, woodstove, fireplace, water softener, water heater, or oil tank * Permanent Home ventilation systems, central air conditioner * Septic systems and wells * Electrical wiring in the home, home Security System (monthly fees do not qualify) * Solar panels and solar panel trackers * Painting the interior or exterior of a house * Building an addition, garage, deck, garden/storage shed, or fence * Re-shingling a roof * A new driveway or resurfacing a driveway * Exterior shutters and awnings * Permanent swimming pools, hot tub and installation costs (in ground and above ground) * Landscaping * Associated costs such as installation, permits, professional services,equipment rentals, and incidental expenses * Fixtures - blinds, shades, shutters, lights, ceiling fans, etc. Note Window coverings, such as blinds, shutters and shades, that are directly attached to the window frame and whose removal would alter the nature of the dwelling are generally considered to be fixtures and therefore would qualify for the HRTC. In some circumstances, draperies and curtains may qualify for the HRTC, if they would not keep their value or usefulness if installed in another dwelling. If these qualifying criteria are not met, it is likely that draperies and curtains would not qualify for the HRTC. Examples of ineligible expenses * Furniture, appliances, and audio and visual electronics * Purchasing of tools * Carpet cleaning * House cleaning * Maintenance contracts (e.g., furnace cleaning, snow removal, lawn care, and pool cleaning) * Financing costs

How to install a ceiling fan with 3-way switches, power always on to fan motor, light controlled by switches?

I have a ceiling light that I want to replace with a ceiling fan kit (ceiling fan and light). I want to have the fan motor always on (controlled only by the pull chains) and I want to be able to control the ceiling fan light with the two 3-way wall switches.
The current configuration (I live in Ontario, Canada) at the ceiling rectangular box has a single white wire and single black wire connected to the existing ceiling light, a black and white wire pigtailed together, and two red wires pigtailed together.
According to a DIY book I found at Home Depot my current configuration is "switch-fixture-switch".
Using a voltage tester, I can't find any wire that always has power regardless of the position of the wall switches.
Is it possible to achieve the desired result with the current wiring, or will I have to just leave the wall switches in the on position and control the light with the chains only?

It's kinda difficult to figure it out unless I know two things. Number one is, in the ceiling box, how many cables there are, and how many wires in each cable. Is there two two wire cables and one three wire cable?

And number two, what's in the three way switch box, i.e. how many cables and how many wires in each? Is the feed coming into one of the switch boxes?

Answer # 2 is correct except for the statement about the wires going to the switches. It should have read "switch boxes". The feed for the circuit is in the switch box where the white wire was connected to the light fixture and is a neutral. The black feed wire is connected to the common of that same switch. All of the rest is accurate.
