Homeowners $1500 Tax Credit For Newly Installed Energy Efficient Windows and Doors

The introduction of the 2009 Stimulus Bill has given homeowners the opportunity to have high performing energy efficient windows and doors and earn up to $1,500 in tax credits.

The requirements to take advantage of this offer are as followed:
New windows must have a 0.30 U-Factor (Value) or less and a 0.30 SHGC to qualify.
The tax credit is 30% of cost to replace windows up to $1,500.

So for example let's say you spend $2,000 you'll receive a tax credit of $600, spend $4,000 you'll receive $1,200, spend $6,000 you recieve the full $1,500 tax credit. This tax credit is available from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2010. Make sure you keep your records that the windows meet the requirements. Each window should have a NFRC label indicating the particular rating of that window (see my previous post on how to read the NRFC label).
