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


On December 17, 2010, the Tax Relief Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and job creation act of 2010 was extended into 2011. This law extends the tax credits for energy efficiency into 2011, but at lower levels. Rebates will include 10% of the cost of the improvement, up to $500, with a $200 max for windows.

  • $500 lifetime limit. If you got over $500 in these tax credits from 2006 - 2010, you are not eligible for anything more.
  • 10% up to $500 for insulation on doors.
  • Windows capped at $200, but qualification now ENERGY STAR
  • Furnace and boilers capped at $150, and all furnaces and boilers must meet 95 AFUE
  • $50 for advanced main air circulating fan
  • $300 for air conditioners, air source heat pumps, water heaters, and biomass stoves

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


  1. For products placed in service in 2011, you need to file the 2011 version of IRS Form 5695 and submit it with your 2011 taxes (by April 15, 2012).

  2. Save your receipts and the Manufacturer's Certification Statement for your records. Submit Form 5695 with your 2011 taxes.


  3. * 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
