My property management LLC buys the appliances, water heaters furnaces etc then leases them to the LLC that owns the property.I sat through a 3 days IRS audit for the years 2009 & 2010 & it flew without objection.

Curr(min cost) 3 Curr(min cost) 4 Curr(blinds) Cap(floors) 6 Cap 7..not sure but I don't think you would expense it all in one year..May trigger audit if too many large ticket items expensed all at once...IRS tip hotline (800) 829-4933..

There are also federal and state programs that offer rebates and incentives for energy audits, if you dig deep enough.Hope this helps!
