Tax Credits
What is the Federal Tax Credit?
Today, every homeowner has good reason to pursue sustainable, energy-conscious decisions. For one thing, the Federal Stimulus package includes financial incentives for homeowners to add energy-saving features and green technology to their home. Tax credits for windows and patio doors are available at 30% of the cost (not including installation/labor costs), up to a maximum of $1,500 for windows and patio doors installed in 2009 and 2010. If you are considering replacing your windows or patio doors you could be eligible for a $1,500 tax credit.
What products qualify?
To qualify for the Federal Stimulus Tax credit, the newly installed windows and patio doors must meet a .30 or less U-Factor and a .30 or less Solar Heat Gain Coefficient. Also, the windows/patios must be installed in an existing dwelling that is used as the “primary residence”. Buyer beware - Not all manufactures meet these requirements. Visit www.nfrc.org to see a complete listing of manufactures and their performance ratings. You can verify that the windows/patios you purchase meet a .30 or less U-Factor and a .30 or less Solar Heat Gain Coefficient.
