HOME IMPROVEMENTS
[03/05/09] On February 17, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Included are tax credits for energy efficient windows and doors for home improvements. Highlights include:
  • Tax credits previously effective for 2009 have been extended to 2010
  • The tax credit has been raised from 10% to 30%
  • The maximum credit has been raised from $500 to $1500 for combined improvements to one existing, primary residence during the years 2009-2010
  • The $200 cap on windows has been removed
  • Homeowners are required to maintain their own records that windows meet the qualification requirements. These records are to include receipts and the Manufacturer Certification Statement. Kolbe's Manufacturer Certification Statement is the back of the blue Kolbe window label that shows the U- value and SHGC.
  • For more information on tax credits for home improvements, please visit the ENERGY STAR® website
To qualify for tax credit, ENERGY STAR® labeled windows and doors must have a U-Factor and SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) of 0.30 or less.*
