Energy Audits & Tax Credits

Get a 30% Energy Tax Credit While Reducing Your Monthly Bills!

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed in 2009 offers powerful incentives for homeowners to make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes.

The incentives come in the form of tax credits that can be taken for making changes that make your home more energy efficient. The list of qualifying home improvements is limited, and the products you install in or on your home must meet certain standards.

But the reward is significant! For example, if you replace your existing windows with replacement windows that carry a “U-Factor” (a measure of thermal efficiency) of 0.30 or better, you can take a tax credit of 30% of the cost, up to a maximum of $1,500.

Similar tax credits are available for exterior doors, roofing and insulation products. You can take the tax credits on home improvements made in 2009 or 2010.

Products and Projects Must Qualify

Not all home improvement products or projects will qualify for the energy tax credits. The windows, doors, roofing and insulation you install must meet strict standards for energy efficiency.

The good news is that A&A Services installs replacement windows, doors and roofing that meet these government standards. And when you combine our value-driven pricing and superior service with significant tax savings, you come out way ahead!

These tax credits are available only on qualifying products that offer significant energy savings when installed.

Here are the criteria:

Exterior Windows

• U factor of 0.30 or lower

• Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) 0.30 or lower

• Not all ENERGY STAR labeled windows and skylights qualify

Savings On Top of Savings

The tax credits are intended to make it easier for you to make your home more energy efficient. By offering savings (in the form of tax credits) up front, the government is actually “doubling up” on the overall savings you’ll realize.

How is that? Making your home more energy efficient has ALWAYS been a great way to reduce your home heating and cooling costs. Simply replacing drafty old windows with thermally efficient new windows has been proven to cut home heating costs significantly.

So the savings you get from the tax credits are really just the start. You’ll continue to save on your monthly energy bills year after year.
