Energy Saving Windows Favored By Stimulus

March 12, 2009 - PRLog -- Thanks to the stimulus bill, homeowners can now claim a tax credit of up to $1,500 for new, energy-efficient windows, doors, and skylights. In addition, utility companies now help consumers finance more energy-efficient windows for the home. With efficient windows, homes can more easily meet energy code requirements, achieve ENERGY STAR® homes recognition, or meet utility incentive requirements.
  “Having been in the business for two decades, we have never seen such a significant tax rebate on window film.  Rebates of up to $1500 after installation makes window film a no brainer," says Jeremy Dobbins of Climate Insulating Products.
   As a result of the stimulus bill, homeowners can claim a tax credit of up to $1,500 for upgrading their primary residence with energy efficient appliances and building components, such as exterior windows, doors and skylights. This way, homeowners can reduce their income tax by up to thirty percent of the purchase price (not including installation costs) to qualified products installed in 2009 and 2010.
    The tax credit helps save money on the purchase of windows, doors or skylights, but the real money savings are the long-term savings by reduced energy bills. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows and doors can save home-owners hundreds of dollars in heating and cooling costs each year. And, of course, more efficient windows and doors also substantially enhance comfort, reduce condensation, and help to protect the environment and conserve limited resources. What are the qualifying criteria?
    Filming along with energy saving lighting, can earn LEED points to qualify for Green Status. Energy efficient windows are designed so that heat is kept inside the home in winter and outside the home in summer. This reduces heating and cooling costs, minimizes energy consumption that impacts the environment and limits the size of the HVAC equipment required for keeping homes comfortable.
