Replace your windows and doors and take advantage of the Federal Tax Credit for Energy Efficiency!


On February 17, 2009 a stimulus bill was signed that made some significant changes to the energy efficiency tax credit. Some of the changes were:

  • There is no longer a $200 cap on windows
  • The tax credit that was effective for 2009 has been extended to 2010
  • The tax credit has been raised from 10% to 30%
  • The tax credit that was for a specific dollar amount has been converted to 30% of the cost
  • The maximum credit has been raised from $500 to $1500 for the two years (2009-2010)
  • Credit applies to the cost of the product only and do not include installation
  • Consumers must receive a Manufacturer’s Certification Statement to qualify

To take advantage of the Federal Tax Credit, follow these easy steps:


  1. Purchase your replacement windows or doors*, into your principal residence, between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010
  2. Save your receipts and the ENERGY STAR label from your windows and doors
  3. Print off a copy of the manufacturers certification statement that relates to the products you purchased

    » Manufacturers Certification Statement

  4. Claim the improvements on your 2009 taxes (use IRS Tax Form 5695 – 2009 version)

* To be eligible for the tax credit, windows and doors must achieve:
  • A U-factor of less than or equal to 0.30, and
  • A Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of less than or equal to 0.30
