New Tax Credit Available!!

Just within the last few weeks there has been a significant tax credit available to certain homeowners who have replaced their windows this year. In previous years the energy requirements were pretty lax as to what type of window you had to put in. As long as the windows were energy star qualified (U value of less than .35), It would entitle you to a 10% tax credit up to $200.

Now finally the government is headed in the right direction by revamping the credit to allow up to a 30% credit maxing out at $1500!!!! I cant tell you how much this helps our business and the industry as well. Whats the catch?? You now have to meet much stricter energy ratings that exceed the energy star qualifications. The U factor rating on the window must be equal or lower to .30 which basically rules out the windows you would find in home depot or lowes, as well as many lumber yards. It would be safe to say that any window you find sitting on the shelf at these large supply centers will NOT qualify for this tax credit. I would advise you that with any tax matter please consult a qualified cpa or tax attorney to verify that you will be able to claim the tax credit available on windows.

I am happy to announce that here at C. Michael Exteriors, we carry a full selection of vinyl windows that will meet or exceed these energy requirements. Oh and we didnt just start carrying them like alot of companies will be scrambling to do.
