1) We had a solar powered attic vent fan installed to reduce the heat in the attic to help the AC run more efficiently.  Where to I enter the cost of that on Form 5695?
2) We replaced the original SEER 14 HVAC system that was worn out, with a new SEER15 HVAC system.  Where to I enter the cost of that on Form 5695?
