New Tax Credit for Replacement Windows?

Watch for us on ABC (channel 27)

ACCORDING TO A POST ON GORELL'S BLOG:

There’s a new energy tax credit being debated in Congress. Based on what we are reading, homeowners may want to act THIS year if you are thinking about replacing windows.

The initial language of the bill says homeowners would get 10% or up to a $200 (capped) tax rebate if they purchase windows that are Energy Star rated. There is a second way to increase the rebate. If homeowners purchase replacement windows that meet or exceed the R-5 program (R-5 table), they can get up to 30% or up to $1000 (capped).

The current expiring tax credit allows homeowners a 30% tax credit up to $1500 for this year. For homeowners to qualify for this tax credit, they need to purchase windows with a .30 U-value and a .30 Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). Most, but not all, Energy Star rated windows fall into this category.

Also, with the Energy Tax Credit that is expiring at the end of the year, it is important to note that to get the rebate, the windows must be installed or be “in service” by December 31, 2010. Because many manufacturers have lead times—and many remodeling companies like yours have installation lead times—homeowners are running out of time to order to ensure getting their windows installed before the end of the year and qualifying for the tax credit.

Customer Stories

Don't just take our word for it...

We recently had our home remodeled by the team at Frey Construction. The entire Frey team was professional, experienced, courteous and patient. The final result was exactly how we had envisioned. If we have other home remodeling projects in the future, we would certainly not hesitate to call Frey Construction again.

I am very pleased with Frey Construction. They replaced my roof and gutters. The workers were fast and efficient, and they were always courteous and professional. The office staff was patient and helpful and I appreciated all the time they spent to answer my questions. The quality of work is exceptional and they exceeded my expectations with the clean up afterwards. I highly recommend them!

Frey has done a lot of work for us and the quality is always great. My favorite thing about them is that they are extremely responsive and professional with great customer service. We've previously worked with them on siding and gutters. Most recently I had some windows replaced. They were very helpful and assisted in removing a wall-mounted shelf, which I consider an above and beyond service.
