What is the tax credit rebate program?

The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009, effective January 1, 2009, offers a one-time energy tax credit up to $1500 for the period 2009-2010 to homeowners who have energy-efficient products installed in their primary residence.  The credit also applies to multifamily housing units that are owned by residents (ie cooperative and condominium owners in management associations).  The maximum credit you can claim is 30%, with a maximum of $1500, of the cost of all qualified products (please refer to www.irs.gov for the list of eligible products) installed during 2009 -2010 in your primary residence.  This does not include the installation, on-site preparation, assembly or tax for the products. 

What products qualify for the tax credit rebate program?

You can find the list of all eligible products on the ENERGY STAR® website or the IRS website (links provided below).  All windows and doors installed between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010, that have been certified by ENERGY STAR and have performance ratings equal to or below a U-factor of 0.30 and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.30 qualify for the tax credit rebate.  This information can be found on the NFRC label placed on your windows by the manufacturer.  A list of the windows and doors manufactured by Lockheed Window Corp. and their respective ratings is inserted below.

The U-factor rating is a representation of the rate of heat loss.  A low U-factor shows how well the window/door helps prevent heat loss and lower energy costs.  The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is a measurement of the amount of solar radiation (heat) that is absorbed and transmitted through a window/door.   A lower rating indicates better heat-blocking ability.
