Why am I only getting a $150 tax credit for a new furnace/central air when I should be getting $500?

The tax credit for a new furnace is 10 percent of the cost on new qualified energy property installed, including the cost of labor and installation up to a maximum of $150. You may be eligible for an additional credit of up to $50 for an advanced air circulating fan for the furnace. That must be entered in the box above the box for the furnace.

$150 is the limit for a new furnace. See page 2 of IRS Form 5695. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f5695.pdf

$500 is the lifetime limit for all eligible categories; each category has its own limit.

I also don't understand this. I spent $9350 on energy efficient Air conditioner and Furnace and it states on the form that you get 10% of your purchase back up to $500. The person that sold it to me also said I would get $500 back. Where is the $150 number coming from, that's different from what the form says.
