The Federal Stimulus Package provides tax
credit incentives for specific energy efficient
improvements including replacement windows and doors in
existing homes.
You can save money on your energy
saving investment by purchasing replacement windows and
doors that qualify for the tax credit.
It is important to know that not
all ENERGY STAR rated products qualify for this tax credit.
Requirements for this tax credit exceed current Energy Star
requirements.
Regardless of the region of the
country, a product is only eligible if it is equal to or
below a U-Factor of 0.30 and SHGC of 0.30
(prior to June 1, 2009, all
ENERGY STAR rated products are eligible).
Joyce Windows meets and exceeds
these requirements! Joyce Windows products are eligible
when manufactured with qualifying high performance glass
packages.
THE AMERICAN RECOVERY &
REINVESTMENT ACT:
• Provides a consumer
tax credit up to $1,500 for 30% of the cost of the qualified
remodeling projects that improve energy efficiency of an
existing home - including replacement windows and doors.
• Applies to products
"placed in service" from January 1, 2009 through December
31, 2010.
• Only windows with a
U-Value and solar heat gain coefficient of 0.30 and lower
qualify.
