We have heard ALL THE RAVE about how the Stimulus Bill had a ton of Energy Efficient Tax Credit stuff in it. No cap on Solar and Geothermal - 30% up to a MAX of $1500 on Energy Efficient Improvements ...
One of the best parts of that is being able to get up to $1500 back for New Windows. You know, those crummy single pane windows that you would love to rip out. But, Hold On! Have you read to see what qualifies? I went in to Home Depot the other day and not a SINGLE WINDOW QUALIFIED that they had in there.
That does not mean that the product was bad. That's not the case at all. As a matter of fact, the majority of windows that are Energy Star Rated will not qualify. The Guidelines to receive the Credit are very strict. The U-Factor AND Solar Heat Gain CoEfficient BOTH have to be = or Below .30
