This year we actually got a refund thanks to the energy credit--we had to replace our whole air conditioning system in December. At least we got it done while that credit was available because that offset a big chunk of the cost (heat pumps and air handlers are NOT cheap!) We were going to owe quite a bit, but since that credit turned it into a nice refund, I made sure I got that into my hands as soon as all my work overtime was finished and I had time to file!
