Tax Credit For NEW Energy Efficient Windows - But Most Won't QUALIFY!

Thank you to Stephanie Edwards-Musa, with Prudential Gary Greene, for this break out on the Tax Credit for New Windows. Find out if you will qualify.

 

Via Stephanie Edwards-Musa knitwit at thredUP (thredUP.com):

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

To get the Scoop I went to visit Bob Birner with Renewal By Andersen Windows.  You may also know Bob as the Host of the Home Improvement Hotline on Sunday morning from 9a-12p.  If you are wanting to change out your windows and reap the benefit of the $1500 - Make sure that you listen in so you are not an angry Tax Payer next year.  By the way, all of you folks in the Houston area - Bob has Windows that qualify under both ratings.
