You may be considering some upgrades to your home this year. If possible, why not try and make your upgrades "pay you"? The government is offering credits for up to 30% of the cost, up to $1,500. For items such as solar energy systems, you can receive a 30% credit with no limit. Our government cares about being "Green" and so wants you to purchase energy efficient items for your home; Items such as AC units, storm doors, windows, a new roof, water heaters, and more.

You also may be wondering if now would be the best time to upgrade, since you can capitalize on the tax credits offered through the latest stimulus package. Certainly purchasing the right product to qualify for this credit is very important. This will help you assess how to obtain the credit, or to help you decide if it is worth spending your extra hard earned money on more efficient models.
