The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (also known as, “The Stimulus Package” or “The Bail Out”) extends federal tax credits for eligible building components. The new law includes specific requirements including a U-Factor equal to or below 0.30 and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) equal to or below 0.30 in all climate zones in the U.S.
The approved bill includes the ability for homeowners in Maryland, DC, Virginia, and other states to gain a tax credit of 30 percent of the cost of qualifying energy-efficient upgrades to a maximum of $1,500 per household for 2009 and 2010.
How Do I Qualify For the Energy Saving Window Tax Credit? 1
To qualify for the Tax Credit: 1
Purchase a qualifying Pella window or door that meets the new standards: U-Factor and SHGC of 0.30 or below (View Pella’s qualifying products here). Retain your NFRC label from each product along with sales receipt for tax credit verification and preparation. The NFRC label shows that the energy efficiency of the window or door meets or exceeds tax credit eligibility requirements.
Download and print the Pella Manufacturer’s Certification Statement for your records. This statement verifies your Pella windows and doors may be eligible for the tax credit.
The qualified Pella products must be installed in the taxpayer-owned principal residence after January 1, 2009 and before December 31, 2010.
NOTE: The credit only applies on the price of the qualified windows and doors themselves and excludes installation costs, onsite preparation, assembly or sales tax. Since qualifying Pella wood clad products offer factory-prefinishing, the cost of this feature is eligible for the Credit.
Leverage the value of ENERGY STAR qualified, energy-efficient products!
We encourage you to contact your local Pella sales representative to explore Pella’s broad range of ENERGY STAR qualified, energy-efficient windows and doors in wood clad, fiberglass and vinyl. Despite the fact that the recently modified stimulus plan does not cover all Pella ENERGY STAR qualified products, it is important to note that all of our products with InsulShield® Low-E insulating glass can significantly cut the cost of your home operation by lowering your utility bills and adding to the overall comfort of your home.
Also remember to ask your local utility company about possible rebates to add to your potential savings.
